Besieging fleet siege actions

Entrench - The besieging fleet moves its close combat forces to the front lines, preparing to repel enemy ground troops. This action is especially effective against an enemy Sally Forth action, but the fleet will take more damage from bombardment if no Sally Forth is made.

Fall Back - The besieging fleet moves its troops farther away from the compound, keeping its forces at as safe a distance as possible without breaking the blockade. The fleet will take less damage from bombardment this update, but will be caught by surprise if the defenders Sally Forth.

Assault - The besieging fleet assaults the enemy position, attempting to capture it. This action is identical to the normal Assault action in the rules, with the exception that it is not negated by other battle actions.

- In my opinion, the enemy probably realizes that they are outgunned (which they are), and expect us to want to finish this quickly.

- Subsequently, the defenders will probably want to Fortify (strong against Assault, neutral against Entrench, weak against Fall Back) or Sally Forth (neutral against Assault, weak against Entrench, strong against Fall Back).

- With that in mind, I would like for us to focus primarily on choosing between the Entrench and Fall Back options, if possible.

- I voted for Entrench because I figure we outgun them enough that if they don't Sally Forth, we'll still be able to give as good as we get in terms of shelling, especially with the Paruta Maneuver being conducted once more.

Can't fall back much further now that I think about it.
