Simple questions?

[prb4]

I have a couple of simple questions.

Question 1.
Using a Klingon ship.
If I line up any enemy ship exactly on the line between my front and port arcs I am able to fire more weapons because weapons in both arcs are considered in.

If the enemy ship shoots back at me is it considered to hit my front shields or not?

Question 2.
When using a scout ship to block enemy weapons.
Is this done when the enemy ship chooses to fire those weapons?
Or is it declared during the scout ships attack phase? (Which would obviously have to be before the enemy ship fired).

Thanks

1) Yes, you can fire weapons from both arcs if the target is right on the line between two of them (we usually announce our intention to do this when moving the ship to avoid arguments ).

When the target ship fires back, you can choose which of the two faces takes the hits (you say Front !).

2) Scout actions are declared during the scout's Attack Phase.

That's great.

Thank you

we call it bore sighting the opponent and make the declaration when making the move or turn.

Same here, mostly so that everyone agrees and in 5mins time when the table has been bumped a little there's no argument
