Hi!
The building restriction was put in place due to the rather common ploy
or rushing HQ's into buildings or other structures placing a couple of
units in front and firing with impunity. Buildings are obvious targets,
it doesn't matter who's in them. This problem was further compounded by
adding a heavy firepower unit like devastators or other such units then
you had an unassailable position with the benefits of cover, all because
you couldn't fire at it because of the HQ unit in it. This was not good
and changed by the restriction.
Unit is a bad term, I used it mostly meaning command model. I will not
use this word in the final wording.

Subject: [NetEpic ML] Command unit targeting
Other than the first example, I like it. That makes it better for a
commander to be standing in the open behind a trench than in it with his
men. How about this as a unit special ability / characteristic?
Command: Command units represent a small number of important people and
can
only be targeted if:
1) The command unit is more than 25cm from any other unit of it's
pinning
class.
- or -
2) You assign at least one attack die to every stand/model of the same
pinning class that is coherent to the command unit. You may not assign
more
dice to the command unit than to any other unit within coherency.
- or -
3) You're firing a template weapon and also cover a valid target.
I don't understand the implications of the building restriction - am I
missing something?
And I need a definition: what's a unit, as opposed to a stand and a
detachment? Is it a single model, or multiple?
