Merris Lacroix cannot light friendlies on fire?

So I was reading Merris's text on the flaming bottle and it reads "Target enemy model gains the burning +3 condition. this attack ignores cover"

Does this mean that if I shoot it at my own guys it does absolutely nothing?

You actually can't even target a friendly model with that. "Target enemy model..." is a targeting restriction to on only enemy models. Same as anything that's "Target model with X condition" or "Target [x characteristic] model"

You don't ignore all restrictions from what I can tell. You specifically ignore range and LoS.

Page 50 of the small online rulebook states: 

"When firing into an engagement it is possible to hit targets that aren’t technically

within LoS or range to the Attacker, or to even hit models that aren’t engaged (but

are within 2” of the target model). Cover is determined as normal."

 

Maybe I have missed some part of the faq that specifically states that you ignore all targeting restrictions?

neat. I guess I have to purchase Iggy for my Zoraida list then.

Mmmmm.... So if you in this scenario randomize on a friendly model you don't perform the attack???

I was under the impression that the targetting step was just at the very beginning of the declaring action and that after targetting restriction simply doeasn't kick in... Am I wrong?

I'm not 100% sure what happens unfortunately. Might be that you have wasted the ap probably. I know you can't declare the attack against a friendly at least. The base rules never really incorporated a fail state I think.
