With their supportive fire rule tau models can fire at anyone who is charging a model within 3 inches of them like they're overwatching. If say a scout marine charges 2 of them in a multi charge because they're next to each other can they support fire for each other?

Realistically speaking should drones be allowed to get hatred and frenzy?

Thanks

The rules say a unit being charged can fire Overwatch only once per turn. Unless there's something different in the supportive fire rule, I don't see that a unit being charged can both fire overwatch and provide supportive fire for another unit also because of that restriction. Is there a statement in the supportive fire rule limiting the supportive fire to once per assault phase or something similar?

I'm talking about shadow wars not about regular 40k

One would be able to fire, however the other would not. Bythe time the second pathfinder gets charged, the first is already locked in close combat.
