I'm thinkin' back to the days when it really was a bubble-field, and didn't work against attacks made from inside the field.
Yeah, 2nd Edition was awesome like that.

Wasn't it Power Fields that worked that way?
Refractor, Conversion and Displacer worked always, Power Fields were only against shooting (to balance the fact that they were 2+ Invul saves). Automatically Appended Next Post:
2nd Ed was also really stupid, but it was a lot of fun!

2nd edition reminds me of an Internet meme:
Yo dog, I heard you like tables. So we put tables inside of tables so you can roll on tables while you roll on tables.
But there is no other game where I could throw a virus grenade and wipe out 3/4 of the opposing Orks in turn one.

Does this mean if I fire a guard squad at Azrael, the battlefield explodes?

Yep, you are correct. Been a few years I guess. Anyhow, while I was doing my sanity check... I saw the stats for Melta Missile. That would be a cool return! With Skyfire...

Conversion field didn't have a bubble, it worked like a Flash Grenade when hit. Hence the story of Vandire blinding the assembled Daughters of the Emperor.
Power Fields didn't either, but they did make you count as encumbered (-1 in CC)
The helmet the Watcher carries contains a bubble conversion field.

The "bubble reference" was only to illustrate that CC attacks aren't defended with the old Power Field. Geez...

The poor man really has a stake in the country. The rich man hasn't; he can go away to New Guinea in a yacht. The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all
We love our superheroes because they refuse to give up on us. We can analyze them out of existence, kill them, ban them, mock them, and still they return, patiently reminding us of who we are and what we wish we could be.
