I'd forgotten that part of the rule. To be honest, I don't agree with
it,
since it never seemed to work that way in Babylon 5.
However I do see argument for MANNED weapons to be able to engage within
a
certain distance since they can physically see the target. Since 6MU
seems
to be the magic number for fighter squadrons to engage, I'd go with
that.
