The problem with bonuses is that it cancels the units edge with stealth.
Remeber it is a straight froll will leadership bonus for the command unit.
IF the firing unit is given bonuses it cancels its advantage making stealth
much less useful. Do to the commanders importance in Heresy and the liberal
firing restrictions, they need the edge. That everyone has the same chance
doesn't bother me as much as making stealth less useful.

One option is to make archaic troops like gretchin NOT be able to target
stealth units. That way only troops with tech for targetting may do it. I
will add this to the archaic troops skill.
