Canister vs all occupants per A7.4

[mgmasl]

Sorry.. I´ve not understood correctly the last errata on canister.

Do Canister shots affects all units on the target hexes [including the hex adjacent to the firer is firing same level] or only enemy units in all of them?

thx

Canister will affect friendly units in the targeted locations (and because of the way the dice gods work are more likely to die.)

It affects unit "per A7.4" - i.e., "with the outcome of such fire affecting all those enemy (or Melee) units in the target Location ".

Here is the Q&A, btw, that lead to the errata:

A7.4, C8.4, & C8.41
C8.4 indicates that Canister “affects all occupants of all hexes at that elevation”, does that include friendly units? If yes, does A7.4
preclude firing at a vertex aiming point which could affect friendly units?
A. No (unless they are in Melee). NA.

C8.41 also allows Canister to attack the adjacent hex at half firepower, will that attack friendly units? If Yes, is the overall attack
then precluded by A7.4?
A. No (unless they are in Melee). NA.
