PLEASE let me know directly, or at least by name, if I violate this. I 
know I've occasionally, sometimes in reply, picked up some bad setting
in 
the past without even realizing it.

Thanks, Chris!

You can get by in cine with everyone putting down their rulers along the

path for the first part of the move, and trying a shot, at say, a
quarter 
of the way. A ship moving 8" would be a quarter of the 4" of that first 
part of the move, or 2" from the start. A ship moving 6" would be 1.5". 
Now, if you want to constantly check for the OPTIMUM point on the path, 
there may be a way to work it out, but higher mathematics would seem to
be 
involved. Especially if you put arcs in.

Add the complexity of keeping track of which weapons fired, and maybe 
initiative, and I'm singing 'let's call the whole thing off'. Optional 
mid-course firing, with simultaneous damage and all firing at the same 
point in the movement sounds a worthy compromise.
