Which brings up memories. I lost a campaign battle against chaos partly
to chaos being able to kill their own. I had engaged my opponents
chaos space marine legion and their supporting company size land raider
force in CC with a veteran company, a tactical company and a IG bike
company. Also, there was a chaplain and some marine commanders.
I caught all of them, except one detachment, without having to suffer
defensive fire. What did he do? He flies two of those big chaos shv
bombers that have that twin flame cannon and a detachment of those
smaller fliers with the flamer and covers the whole CC area with flames!
(with his last moves, of course (we used alternating movement))
I swamped him in CC only to see 80% of my surviving troops burned...
My point? Keep the "barrage my own units" specialty for those who
would really do something like this; Chaos & Orks.
