Problem firing on a Unit Not Adjacent while the opponent has Ambush

OK, so here's the deal. One of my infantry units was held up in a town. There was one unit adjacent to me at full strength and another at half strength which was 2 spaces away.
Below is a picture I ripped from the instruction manual. Both space 3 and 2 had dudes on them however I could only fire on space 3 which was adjacent.

I had line of sight and wanted to fire on the 2 unit space. However, the game didn't let me. Which I thought was strange. So instead I fired on the adjacent space as I had no other options. Immediately, the opponent played an ambush. I think the reason I couldn't fire on the non-adjacent space was b/c he had activated his ambush card. Please advise.

No. The reason is that when you have an enemy unit adjacent to you, you cannot fire on a more distant enemy unit instead.

A unit adjacent to an enemy unit must Close Assault this unit if it chooses to battle. It may not fire on another, more distant, enemy unit instead.

My wife hates that rule too...she sometimes forgets about it and runs into the same problem you had!
