Available Targets When Using Forced Directed Targeting

Normally, one cannot use Directed Targeting when the range to the target it 9 or more hexes.

How does this rule apply if one side is forced to use Directed Targeting by scenario rules (as in 8B208- Flashpoint Mantor)? Can those ships not fire at targets beyond range eight, or should this restriction be lifted since it's not a choice to use Directed Targeting?

That is a very good question! Hadn't really thought of that before.

Anyway, the range is 10 or less. You may use directed targetting out to 10 hexes.

I figure that outside range 10, it isn't a concern, and you may fire normally at those ranges. So, if you are playing a scenario that requires the use of directed targeting, you may fire normally outside 10 hexes range, and you must use directed targeting when at 10 hexes or closer.

[PS, I moved this to Rules, as this is a rules question.]

Whoops, clicked the wrong forum button.

Don't have my rulebook here at work, so I thought it was 8.

Thanks Mike!
