I have searched the rule book far and wide and cannot, for the life of me, find anything that says specifically how many ranks can fire at a large target.

We have people state that the max is 2, citing the rules for firing on a hill as taking precedence. Then we have people arguing about the "Large Target" angle and that line of site can be draw to it from anywhere on the field as long as it isn't behind a forest or some other similar terrain.

But, no where in the rule book does it mention definitively which way is proper. Is there a passage in a FAQ or Errata that I can't find or is there a passage in the book I am overlooking?

Which way is correct?

The rulebook does state it, and the answer is you can ALL shoot at the target with all ranks. The rule is actually on page 9 under "Hills and elevated positions" and confusingly needs 2 sentences read together,

and they can always shoot (and be shot at) over models that are not on the hill, in the same way as described for large targets This means thar models in the rear ranks of units on the flat may shoot against...

The problem is they never actually state "large target" anywhere else, apart from the to hit modifiers section.

So correct answer: all ranks can fire at a large target
