The title is pretty much self explanatory.
A friend of mine argues that since it happens during the shooting phase, that the Banshee could not howl against a target in close combat (unless specifically stated, I.E. the Banshee can howl against units she is in close combat with), and unless you are Skaven, it is illegal to target units that are engaged in close combat with shooting attacks. Because it is stated as an attack that happens during the shooting phase I happened to agree with him.
But I just recently heard something that it doesn't count as a shooting attack, even though it's during the shooting phase, and may howl against enemies engaged in close combat. Is this the case?
