Question regarding Carpet Bombing

[jckerr4]

As far as I can remember, every time I use the carpet bombing feature, it results in damage to my own units. I know there is a possiblity of 2 hexes as per the manual (see below). Am I missing something, or do I have bad luck

Carpet Bombing

Air strikes from Heavy Bomber air units affect all units in the target hex and no target unit selection occurs in this case. Such bombing is considered to be "Carpet Bombing" and has an increased effect on causing Disruption in the target hex. Such air units are flagged with the word CARPET in the Air Mission Dialog . Carpet Bombing does not require that the target hex be spotted by a friendly unit. When a Carpet Bombing air strike is called, the program will randomly scatter the designated target hex up to 2 hexes away. This may result in the air strike hitting friendly units. Also note that Heavy Bombers are often designated as Single Use units and when this is the case, they will only be available for a single mission.
