Does any one remember a 3rd ed tyranid rule called "shoot the big ones".i keep hearing about it and was wondering what it does

It's been a long time, but I believe that it allowed opposing armies to ignore the target priority rules and shoot at large Tyranids when they might otherwise have to fire at smaller ones.

thank you

It wasn't a rule that allowed you to bypass the shooting priority. If I remembered correctly, it meant you HAD to shoot at the monsters unless you passed a morale check.

I may be wrong though...
