Summary	0009508: Ranged combat always misses when shooting at target on the same tile
Description	Creatures using ranged equipment to shoot at a target on the same tile will always miss. The unit is firing, there is a firing animation, ammo is used up, there is a skill gain. But there is no combat message or report, nor any injuries sustained.
Steps To Reproduce	1. Go to Arena Mode 2. Spawn two units with ranged equipment on the same tile You will see them shooting, but there is no combat message. You can take control of one unit, and try firing (f) at the unit on the same tile as you. There will be no message. However, you will notice that your bolt count has decreased, and your speed has increased (due to carrying 1 less bolt). Shoot more, and you might notice that your ranged skill has also increased.
Additional Information	Old bug. Is of minor help in adventure mode I suppose, go wrestle-sit on an archer and wile away his ammo.
