RE: Abusing horses and trucks
In the end it comes down to the two players deciding whether to use the optional rule. If we can't agree on its intent, I'd rather not use it or at least minimize its impact by choosing a scenario with a minimum number of transport units (say 1-3).
There is no way I would play a scenario against an opponent with 16 transport units if he or she believes activating transport units one at a time to delay or avoid required recovery attempts is an acceptable tactic. There is more than a 50% chance the turn will end before the opponent will have to perform one single required recovery attempt (assuming he or she has exactly three useful non-transport unit activations). That, from my perspective, is a mockery of the "forced recovery attempt" base rule. YMMV.
I will make sure to discuss the rule with my next Skype opponent as I have no idea what is his interpretation of the rule.
