4) is fine. I play this way.
How about:
A unit with an AT shot may choose it's target. However, it
must shoot at the closest target of any particular type.
This means: A unit with an AT shot is facing two Falcons,
one Wave Serpent, a guardian unit and an Adspect Warrior
stand with a Warlock (this stand is standing in the back of the
det.). The unit can shoot at: The closest Falcon,
the Wave Serpent or the closest of the infantry stands
(the guardians). It cannot shoot at the other falcon or the A.W.
stand. This will prevent silly things like targeting enemy leaders
or psykers who are in a group. This is the rule in WH40K; you
must shoot the closest target within a group. If you can't
distinguish a character in 28mm scale, then you sure
as hell can't do it in 6mm scale!!!!
Comments anyone?
