[Epic] Net Epic: First Fire & Command Units

As the rules go you cannot shoot at a command unit unless it is not the
closest unit to you. This rule sometimes creates very illogical situations
where the weapon you fire is incapable of damaging the closer units. A
command unit walking besides a SHV or strolling between troops dug-in in
fortifications, in spite of being the most (perhaps only) eligible unit
within LOS, is safe from infantry fire. This is especially frustrating in
cases like 2 tech-marines and 3 shadow swords "protect" each other.

How about modifying the rule to read as something like:
"A command unit cannot be shot at if there are closer targets to the
shooting unit that are damagable by the shooting weapon".
