Zertk Strom rerolling...against him...

[Kieran Rexer 49]

I'm talking about the ability of Zertik Strom with a friend, he's arguing that Strom's ability does work also on self, because is at distance 1 from himself, but the correct wording is "another friendly squadron..", this tell me that his ability cannot target Strom, only other sqadrons at distance 1.

You've got it right. If it just said "a friendly squadron at distance 1," he could just plink himself; the "another" excludes himself.

See: Home One, Toryn Farr, Howlrunner, etc.

And the Rules Quote:

RRG, Page 6:  "Friendly and Enemy"

All ships and squadrons in the same fleet are friendly to each other. All ships and squadrons in an opposing fleet are enemy ships and squadrons.

• A ship or squadron is friendly to itself and can be targeted by an effect that specifies a friendly target unless it explicitly specifies “another” ship or squadron.
