Aim Vs Thrown Gate question (LSJ)

1/ In combat and during the 6.4.2 "Determine Range" step, a minion A plays Thrown Gate (Strike: 1R damage, with an optional maneuver.) to get the maneuver. Can he play a Target :X card (Aim. Play when choosing a strike.) at this point ? I guess not, since the "choose strike" step is after the 6.4.2 step, regardless of whether a minion committed to a strike earlier (I assume it'd be the same for Primal Instincts Vs Thrown Gate, you can't cancel a TG with PI during 6.4.2). Correct ? 2/ Assuming I got it right and that the opposing minion B got back to close range then Immortal Grapple'd minion A, can A play a Target:X card for cycling purposes ? (I guess not either, since he has to choose "no strike"). thanks, Stone

Correct. He would also not declare if he was throwing the gate at the opposing minion or at one of the opposing minion's retainers at this time, either. The strike (and its target and/or aim) are not chosen until 6.4.3. > 2/ Assuming I got it right and that the opposing minion B got back to close > range then Immortal Grapple'd minion A, can A play a Target:X card for > cycling purposes ?
