We had a situation like this in our second game session of ISS URSULA, ship A (us) and Ship B (them).
They were travelling in our sensor wake, tailgating us/ drafting in Nascar (fer thems that watch it). The skipper ordered their sensors blinded before we jumped out. We did just that.
As it was, the bad guys had to guess which of two possible destination we would choose, and split their forces accordingly.
Had they guessed correctly, all of our friends (them) would have eaten us for lunch when we arrived at our destination. (yes, their sensor operator made his roll, but lost exact location as blinded him and jumped out.) Our sensor jamming roll beat theirs by a few pips (less than five).
The rest played itself out.
