Talk:Simultaneous Attack Rule/@comment-71.170.76.144-20160813020628/@comment-27221056-20160820084059

Imagine this: these dogfights are over in matter of seconds. Not an hour as we are playing with the models, but in real-time in the Star Wars universe. The ships are moving at blinding speed and when they shoot, they shoot almost simultaneously. When they are of equal skill, one ships shoots at a second ship, which shoots before it's hit by the first ships plasma bolts. If the second ship is then destroyed by the first ship's fire, the second ship's plasma bolts doesn't magically disappear, but continue towards the first ship.

The designers created this rule with that in mind.
