-Since the Skills used in an Order are simultaneous, a BS Attack can be declared at any point during the route followed by the [[Move]] Skill. If the [[Burst]] is divided among several targets, all shots must be made from a single point. Usually, the attack is made from the position that offers the biggest advantage: a clear [[LoF]], targets out of [[Cover], optimal range, etc.
