Fireball on prone/stunned players

[gandresch]

Hi,

in the rules it says, that the Fireball is only cast on players, that are standing inside the 3x3 zone. What about those, that are prone or stunned?
I remember, i read about this before, but i can't find a thread about it. Somehow i think, that the prone/stunned players don't have to roll for 4+, but are affected automatically!? (which would result in an AV roll with MB)

Greets,

as per the description it only affects players that were Knocked down. (Don't forget the Mighty Blow)

This rule comes from the bomb from the bomber (not the fireball spell):

When the bomb finally does explode any player in the same square is Knocked Down, and players in adjacent squares are Knocked Down on a roll of 4+. Players can be hit by a bomb and treated as Knocked Down even if they are already Prone or Stunned. Make Armour and Injury rolls for any players Knocked Down by the bomb.
