Review :
Being able to recall all of the enemy's fighters is a very nice treat, but
it's really useful only when used tactically. Just randomly having them go
back isn't taking advantage of the card. I would recommend having your
designated fighter patrol four of the nav points then have it hang back from
the fifth (try to make the fifth close to home). Watch out for any incoming
enemy fighters, otherwise you can choose when to move your recon fighter to
the final nav point whenever you want. It could easily take half a dozen
turns to get into position though, so you might be better off with brute force
or another means of thwarting the enemy.
