In the same game, I had two instances in which I attacked a monster and was sent into retreat without any combat happening. Vega, the extreme top-left star, was unreachable until I settled Pharmaz, Southeast of it. Then I sent a monster fleet to kill the monster I knew had to be there (Kronos). When the fleet arrived, there was an amoeba. I clicked on the amoeba, and no combat happened. When the turn came up, my fleet was retreating to Pharmaz and I could see an EEL at Vega. Next turn, I sent the fleet back, and the same happened, except the eel stayed an eel - forced retreat without combat. Any ideas? BTW, it was an 8-player game (all human players, at the start).
