Yep, too powerful. I think the whole tank-shock thing is sadly
unapplicable to NetEpic...

Each model after the first gets the bonus as normal.

Both things. If I must sustain more engagements risking my unit
because the enemies are getting bonus dice in successive close
combats, why tank-shock at all?

IMHO, better leave close combat out of this. The tank-shocking
vehicle and the tank-shocked unit are never involved in close combat
at all. I prefer the previously mentioned heroic attack...
