Question about ranged attacks: standard vs giants

[Agentofthebat]

Had an instance in a game where

ooS
ooo
GoT

Where S is a standard fig with range, G is a Giant figure, T is the target for S ranged attack and o are empty squares.

The player placed his Giant with the belief that because Giants can close combat attack opposing figures 2 squares away and that opposing figures have to break away...that his giant was locked into combat with the standard figure and the standard figure could not be targeted.

I ruled that the giant and the standard figures were adjacent for movement purposes only and the standard could range attack the target. Was I wrong?

You were right.

Characters 2 squares away from a giant character are not considered adjacent for ranged combat purposes.
