Timing of standby trigger when splitting fire

[Ardua]

Hey, I thought I’d ask because this came up in a game today, 

I activated my unit and was able to split fire and perform a ranged attack against 2 enemy units, one of which had a standby, I rolled first for the unit without a standby, would this trigger the standby or would it have to wait until after both of those attacks were completed.

I said it would as it was one ranged attack despite it being split.

Hello, 

You are correct - the split fire is part of the same attack, so the opponent would not have a chance to trigger a standby until the entire action is complete.
