well, the way i look at it;
the harlies are still a viable "unit" which is closer. you cannot shoot at an IC unless they are infact the closest actual model to your unit...
viel of tears simply ignores the requiremtn for taking a target priority test if you wish to shoot at a more distant unit. a solitary IC is still an IC and thus the IC rules apply - not the target priority rules.
method to my madness or just plain barking?!! it's up to you to decide which!
cheers!
