Subject: Flamers, LoS, and your own squadmembers getting in the way...
DogOfWar wrote:A related situation could be iffy though. If the Chimera is actually out of range of the flamer template I would wager you can't fire the template at the Chimera and maintain that 'maximum' coverage could be satisfied with 'zero' coverage. Even if you could argue that, I think that it would still violate the 'out of range' rule with an auto-miss for all the guardsmen.
Tau player with some suits tried this tactic on me (shooting plasma guns and flamers at a Chimera) when he was a good 12" from his target but standing 1" next to a squad of vets. I shut him down but was that a good call?
Thoughts?

Not iffy at all. If it is out of range, it auto misses. End of Discussion.
