       @nyrath ISTR in Metagaming's Holy War some text about the need to "englobe" enemy forces but this never being a concern in play.Have there been any games where a 3D blockade is used to deny supplies, breakouts, reinforcements, or economic links?

       @Hcobb 3d blockade? Not that I remember. Maybe in Lynn Willis' other space wargame Godsfire

       @Hcobb @nyrath The ideal englobement would be four ships surrounding their target in a tetrahedral formation: each ship can fire at the target while staying clear of the rest of the flotilla.

       @60sRefugee @Hcobb I believe E. E. "Doc" Smith used that maneuver in his Lensman series
