Hmm... Good point. Thing is, I really don't like the idea of giving a
blanket immunity to template weapons. I don't want to have my Flamer
Marines unable to take a really nice shot just because they'd also hit the
SHQ.

Should we make HQ units immune to template weapons?

What about classifying zero-range template weapons (dropped bombs, flamer
templates and such) as Close Combat weapons, thus removing the HQ targeting
restrictions?

Can we rely on the player's sense of fair play to allow targeting the HQ
when it makes sense?

*pause*

Ok, so forget that last one. *grin* How about the other two?
