I agree. Only one unit is HQ at any one time.

Might just be a personal preference here, but if my artillery guard
actually had something in range I think I'd use all of my fp againt that
target and let the rest of the detachment look out for itself. Arty
getting overrun is usually a bad thing. I don't see how this is in any
way cheese tho, you're still losing fp to blast markers from somewhere.

More to the point, I'm pretty sure that there's only one unit, one
particlar vehicle or stand of infantry, that is the HQ from which all
command ranges are measured. Even though the IG chain of commad looks
like it would allow up to three simultaneous headquarters units, the HQ
rules imply that only one of them is considered the actual detachment
commander.
