Right, but if you look at the start of the adventure, you can see that that ruling was made in error. The Resistance fleet was already mostly mobilized for the evacuation before the First Order fleet showed up, appearing from hyperspace in one area at a significant distance from its enemy. There's no way that such a deployment could have allowed for the setting of chaff to cover more than a small fraction of possible escape vectors.
