2 More quick questions

1) The rules state a ship can turn 1 or 2 hexsides per hex entered. At the beginning of a turn, does the ship have to enter a new hex before turning, or can it turn immediately?

2) I play it so a ship can target one ship with its MB and a second ship with it SB. For instance, a BC has an enemy DD at short range and an enemy BB at long range. Can the BC fire its MB at the BB and SB at the DD?

Hello,

1) As stated in the rules, ships may turn before they move into a new hex.
2) The Main and Secondary batteries may fire at the same or different targets, certainly. The great majority of ships had separate directors for the main and secondary batteries and thus each battery could fire at different targets if desired.

Sounds good to me. I must have missed the turn thing in the rules
