Over The Top and Beam/Area attacks

[Ludo Chose]

The Team Tactic Card Over The Top says the following: "After the advance, the opposing player may choose a character they control to make an attack targeting the advancing character."

An opposing player choose a character with a Beam or Area attack and makes that attack. The opposing player places the measuring tool and it overlaps with multiple characters, including the advancing character.

Is the opposing player allowed to resolve the attacks against the other characters or must he only resolve the one targeting the advancing character, while ignoring the rest?

They may make all attacks they normally would for the beam or area attack. Note that in this case, page 16 of the core rulebook requires that when an effect says an attack can be made against a particular target, that target has to be included in the beam or area attack or the attack will not happen at all.
