Just re-looking at the debating points here...
And I noticed that a star dragon in a challenge rolls 2d6 s4 hits against the enemy; As the breath weapon doesn't specify any close combat rules... anyone hit will take only take 1 s4 hit

With them being interpretable either way I would side with a model taking one test on the basis that the other option is ridiculous in game play terms.
There are no tests or anything with a Star Dragon (I think these follow standard dragon rules of S4/Flaming unless you're talking about rules elsewhere than the HE book), thus it would "inflict 2D6 automatic hits on the enemy unit".. with "the Strength and special effects.. covered in it's rules"

And I noticed that a star dragon in a challenge rolls 2d6 s4 hits against the enemy; As the breath weapon doesn't specify any close combat rules... anyone hit will take only take 1 s4 hit Already answered here: That, however, is incorrect. As already explained above: Most Breath Weapons simply do not (and do not need to) distinguish between Shooting and CC, and their rules therefore apply to both. To take Breath of Change: "Breath of Change is a Breath Weapon. Any models hit must pass a Toughness test or be removed from play with no saves of any kind allowed." This applies to both shooting AND CC. Hence, [...]the special effect is the same in Shooting and CC: any models hit (whether once or multiple times) must pass a Toughness test. That is the more obvious reading of the phrase. Your reading of that particular phrase, while not impossible, is less likely. Normally, that would (and should) have been expressed by "For each hit, a model must pass etc." or somesuch. The fact that you can only hit one model in a challenge does not need to be compensated by having more tests for that model. But, as I said, we are moving in circles.
