FAQ (GW) **Q.** Reading the description of the Hochland Long rifle it says that 'any' target can be chosen and has a list of targets that are not normally allowed to be singled out. Would this extend to Characters that are in units engaged in hth if you could draw an unobstructed LOS to them or does the prohibition against picking a target engaged in hth apply to them as well?
**A.** You cannot shoot enemies engaged in close combat, because the Engineer/Marksman wouldn't risk to hit his comrades. That rule has precedence.

Scientific Precision The shooter may pick any target he can see (including a character/champion in a unit, a war machine's crew, a chariot or monster rider etc.). but if he uses this special ability he will suffer a -I to hit. Note that the normal .1 modifier for shooting at a single man• sized model does not apply (but other To Hit modifiers do apply) and a character/champion cannot benefit from the -Look out Sir!" rule. The shooter may always choose a different target from the one chosen by the unit he is with.
