"Target is Missed and Takes No Damage"
The rules for the special ammo state that, if that target base is not within the red/purple area, "the target is missed and takes no damage." Yet, in the basic rules, it tells you you can measure out who is within range before choosing who to attack. My question is, if you are measuring before you are firing, why would you ever "miss" the target with special ammo. Are the rules implying that you are not allowed to measure before announcing an attack in the Standard/Advanced Rules?
