Space Alert
Which threat does a rocket hit when two threats are equally close, and does it skip a threat it cannot target?
The rulebook gives the closest-threat rule and the lowest-number tie break for rockets.

A rocket targets the closest threat on any trajectory within range 2. If two threats are equally close, it hits the one with the lowest-numbered token. A threat that cannot be targeted, such as a stealth fighter before it reveals itself, is skipped, and the rocket goes to the next closest.
