Hi all. I have only played a few games of 8th now but really like it. This came up in the last game and not sure about it. The closest 2 targets to a shooting unit were both characters. Does this mean only the closest can be shoot as the second character is not closest or can both be targeted. Thanks
"A CHARACTER can only be chosen as a target in the Shooting phase if they are the closest visible enemy unit to the model that is shooting." So only the closest of the two could be targeted.
That rule is already subject to special rules. My Rangers can target any character in line of sight and in range. I presume this may be the case for most sniper units so it now depends on what is shooting.
How about this.
If a character is the 2nd closest unit to a firing unit, but the 1st closest is engaged in close combat. Can the character then be targeted?
Nope - from the "Designer's Commentary" FAQ:Quote:

A: No.
