  The difficulty isn't range, exactly.	You're still only ending up with
the missiles reaching 24" past your end point.	The difficulty is that
you can drop the missiles, then turn 3 points and be out of range of any
return fire.
  You could do it if you said the missiles had to end up 24mu from the
ship's final position.

  Or you could just play cinematic, in which case the Range/Deviation
chart above would work.
