Some more EFSB questions

Another couple of EFSB questions, dealing with fighters.

(1) We're trying to understand the benefits of fighter screens. If a fighter
group engages a ship and is itself engaged by screening fighters, do surviving
fighters still get to attack the ship in the same gameturn?

(2)  We're not sure about the order of attacks when a non-screening
fighter group engages enemy fighters that are engaging a friendly ship. The
rules discuss treating independent dogfights like ships that can activate, but
this only applies to "free" fighters (not screening or engaging ships). The
rules also discuss how screening fighters engage attacking fighters. But I
don't know when
non-screening fighters dogfight the fighters engaging a friendly ship.
Do you treat them just like screening fighters, so the dogfight is resolved
when the target ship becomes active?

Didn't Jon say a while back that there was a discrepancy and that the example
was correct?

Yes (p. 73, "4A: Ship Selection", last sentence). (I'm not particularly
fond of this rule, though - I don't think any unit, fighter or ship,
should be able to fire twice in a single turn.)

> (2) We're not sure about the order of attacks when a non-screening

All attacks from both fights in a dogfight are simultaneous; the attacking
fighters are dogfighting the screening fighters, so their attacks are resolved
at the same time as the screening fighters. (Same rule section as above, but
the entire last paragraph this time).
