Firing into Melee
Flicking through the new Malifaux 1.5 rulebook, I glanced at the firing into Melee section. It appears I have mis-interpreted the rules, in the book. So it would make a good rules spotlight.
When firing into Melee you first pick a target (this can still be one of your own models.) You then flip a fate card, for the TARGET, any enemy model who has the target within any of their Melee ranges, and also ANY model, FRIEND or foe, that is within any of the targets Melee range. As standard for any target of HT3 or above you flip two cards. The lowest (and in the case of a tie, you choose) becomes the new target.
The error, is that I would NEVER have considered, that you could hit a FRIENDLY model, that is not in combat with an enemy model. Just being close to your friends, means if they get targeted, it can scatter onto you. This only happens if the original target is engaged.
