Flipping a red joker when choosing the target of ranged attack in melee combat

[calgary_cat]

This came up today and my philosophy was red joker = highest therefore avoids attack (it was flipped on my model the intended target of the attack) but my friend thinks the red joker should take precedence over the lower flips on other models, because red jokers take precedence in other cases. I think it would take precedence on a height 3 model, but not over lower flips on other models. Any other takes on this?

Wait. That the Red Joker should take precedence over what? In all honesty, based on what you're saying, I'd say that you've got it right. It's a single flip of the card for each model, they're all independent of each other until you get into comparing them for the target selection.

yep Red Joker is 14 so won't be the model hit.
