No, they can't shoot again. Remember that you already know the Marauders
are comming, since flyer missions are declared at the start of each turn.
What could be done is to have the Flakwagons in two smaller det. Thereby
you
can choose no to shoot with some of your Wagons untill the Marauders
arrive.

The problem here, I think, is that you can see the results of the attack of
one unit
of fliers, before you commit the next unit. Is'nt this kinda unfair towards
other units?
