I am dumb enough. I once charged three units of hospitallers through a line of my own culverins just as they were firing - OUCH

I have also charged my general at an enemy unit just as three volleys of my own javelins were landing - bye bye general

not sure if there's any explanation for friendly fire unless there's a collision model at work for missiles...of course this proves nothing for melee

has anyone ever seen a soldier kill one of his own with a misplaced pike jab or reckless sword swing? I haven't...again however this proves nothing, as collision might only be possible, in melee, with hostiles
