It is random. If you have a range 2 monster in front he will randomly choose either the front enemy or the leader (or rear if there are three monsters inthe enemy unit). A range 3 monster in the front can attack any enemy monster regardless of where they are. You simply happened to see reports where the front monster chose to attack the front enemy, that's all.
