The rules say that shooting can take place after 1/3 of a move, and that each weapon can fire at a separate target, but all targets must be nominated before dice are rolled, is clear.

However in a game last night a player fired after 1/3rd of a move at a ship to his rear. After moving the remaining 2/3rds of a move he realised his forward firing weapons were now in range of another target. The rules seem to forbid this fire as they were not designated before the first fire.

Is that correct?

As I understand it, the phrase means for all weapons that are to be fired in that third. So, after moving as your friend did, he can still declare that he is to fire at another target with his remaining weapons.

I agree with Big Al.
