Flamers don't really have FP/impact specs like the rest of the weapons
in
SG - they just have a close combat effect, AFAIK. (cause TERROR, & two
die
shift for CC, I think. Don't quote me, my book is in a box somewhere!)

So you can't use them except in Close Assault. Not unreasonable, given
that most modern/historical flamethrowers had a range of 30m or less,
and
that's only 3 inches in SG2.

There've been a couple of proposed/house ruled larger flamers -
vehicular
or just 'heavy' - they've all suffered from being grotesquely over the
top, I remember.
