The reason for methanol is no one will understand why some of the mob is running around screaming, unless it's dark, because methanol fires are invisible in sunlight.
To what end? "The hell's the matter with them?" is usually a much more muted response than "HOLY SHIT FIRE!"
You can get more of them before they run.........
Only real methanol fire I ever saw was (in daylight) invisible. But once other stuff started to burn (the fairing on the drag bike, the riders coveralls, his leg etc) it became obvious what was going on.
It seems methanol is an accepted flammable but to me it makes sense to pipe natural gas or propane into the sprinkler system. If activated you would get rotten egg smell (somewhat area denial) then if they had molotovs or were shooting at you the muzzle flashes or your flare or whatever could ignite the propane vapor and boom instant FAE.
As for shooting the goblin with the Molotov, I'm pretty sure that is a WW2 tactic, shoot the flamethrower man in the tank and you probably get him, and whoever is closest to him.

Ok I guess it was a Bad Idea, I just figured strong masonry construction and not having the sprinklers right up against the house would solve the home deconstruction problem, even if it did scorch the walls.

True, I guess this is a case of brisance being a bad thing.

Maybe a bit extreme for defensive measures, but I just always loved that Daffy Duck bit and couldn't resist the chance to post it.
