That IS the rule I read and it does not make sense to me at all.
a human ship fires a missile at a hecate cruiser the humans missile has range of long so I use long measurement ruler to measure the distance
scenario 1 - human unit is 5 measures away (using long range ruler) from hecate - 7-5=2 so the hecate can use 2 PD against the missile
scenario 2 the human unit is 1 measure away from the hecate so 7-1=6 so the hecate can use 6 PG against the missile.
In scenario 2 the units are much closer together but as per the equation they get to use MORE PD.
It should simply count up to your max of 7
if they are one measure apart then defender can use one point PD
2 measures=2 points pd
3 measures=3 points pd
7 measures and above allow all pd to be used
etc etc etc
make sense?
