It's not entirely equivalent though. As you mentioned, their move is capped, so right there they lose a major part of being a Command unit. Also, with the exception of the Leviathan and possibly Capitol Imperialis, no Praetorian is able to give orders to other units that require Chain-of-Command. While the two of those should have Command, the others should not. If their ability to First-Fire after moving is defined as a property of being a Praetorian, then they do not need the Command ability.
Just my perspective.
On a different topic, let's not remove 'legacy' language just because it's old. I can understand and agree to the wording of 'cards' being changed as mostly cards are not used, and can be confusing. If a term works for what it does, let it stay, even if it means that new people might have to make a quick stop at dictionary dot com. While I'm not necessarily seeing anyone suggesting that as yet, I can see how things might be / have been heading that way.
Hi!
Perhaps I should rephrase. By "legacy wording", I mean "net epic legacy wording". That is, while we have changed the original rules several times over the many years, we have dragged a lot of copy/paste text that may no longer be relevant to how the rules currently work or are contradictory if not confusing. There seems to be quite a few of these judging by the more recent questions threads.
This is where all of you are more important in this process than I. When I read the rules, since I helped make them, my mind fills in the blanks and I miss these errors or poor wording. It is actually harder for me to find errors than the casual reader.
I prefer all of you to be "nitpicky" with the language. I would like to finally kill those pesky legacy cut and paste/omissions/typos that have existed for over 10 years.
Fingers crossed.
