Yes. I play it two different ways for those.
For gatling I place the templates and roll to hit. If I hit the templates stay, if I don't then the templates go away.
For the Flamer, I place the template and then roll to hit every unit under the template.
Hope this helps!

We play that flamers auto hit targets (because you don't need really aim a giant fireball) but you DO need to beat soak.
Gatling we play place, then roll to hit. Bullets act a bit differently than fire.

I'm with Harold on flamers and a bit different on Gatling. Auto hit with flamers makes them very powerful! With flamers they ignore cover but roll to hit everything under the template (this is the same for warmachine were alot of the base Gruntz mechanics come from) Gatling is a bit different. Like Harold I dont like the idea of the template scattering. But like the flamer it covers a wide area. Place the template over initial target and roll to hit all targets under the template the firer can see (no firing round corners). Also unlike flamers cover works against Gatling. Hope that helps  Cheers Matt |

Bullets act a bit differently than fire. The only thing is, guard is supposed to represent the folks getting out of the way, finding a scrap of cover, etc. I think the big advantage is that you can hit multiple folks, not that you auto-hit. That's my 0.02 anyways |

From my last 3-4 games, it looks overpowered, but it feels much more solid a specialist weapon choice. For example, in our game last night, a standard specialist flamer was killing on average 2-3 guys in an 8 man coverage. Not very OP, but it's short range means that it's situational at best.

It needs fixing!
But, alas, Robin is busy and doesn't fix it. The forum seems dead these days without him.
FWIW, we use the same method Matt describes.

honestly, it works either way. play-test both, see what you enjoy. I'm working on an errata right now and it may pop up in there, but we'll see.
