    Both pistols and flamethrowers have a range of 6″ do they have to suffer a -1 if the target is over 3″ away as it is more than half their distance just as other weapons?

    Yes, there is nothing preventing an overlap between long range and point blank – even if it does seem a little counter-intuitive.

    Edit – I’d suggest you delete your duplicate thread to keep answers together 😉

    Or at least mark the other as duplicate!

    But yeah there is nothing to say both modifiers don’t apply

    I don’t know how to do that. I tried to delete it after it happened I could not figure out how to do that either.

    Just to get this clear:
    Regular flamer on Range 1 to 3: 2 to hit
    and
    Regular flamer on Range 3 to 6: 3 to hit

    Is this correct?

    In theory … yes.

    In practise dont forget that flamethrowers dont have assault, subject to PINs & loss of team also apply

    As Nat says, those numbers are correct assuming no other modifiers are in play – moved, target is small team, pins, team weapon reduced to one man, etc all have to be considered unless specifically excluded (ie: cover and down don’t apply to flamethrower shots due to the flamethrower special rules).
