Well, you fellows and your creativity have certainly given me some more stuff to do. 
I spent some time last night drawing up rules for Torches and other, more "standard" flame based weaponry in the aftermath of what you guys are doing. Now the game should heartily endorse your apparent deep-seeded need for pyromania. 
Of course, expect complementary rules for things like fires that run out of control and burn down entire buildings with you in them.

Some clarification is required with respect to moving objects:
- Can you move them in any direction? (Push, pull, shift left/right)
- Do you have to move too, or can you move the object while holding your own position?
- If you have 4 MOV, but have used up 2 MOV to get next to a 2-square object, are you then counted as having 2 MOV (and thus being able to move 2/2=1 more squares carrying the object)?

That's actually a better way of doing it. I'll update it into the rules.
"Once you are standing by an object, you can move in any direction, both pushing, pulling and moving sideways is all right. You'll only need to rotate things to get them in through doors."
You have to move as well.
Your total MOV is four, and you are moving something that is one square larger than you. Therefore your moves are halved when moving this object. Your current MOV is 2, and that is what is halved and rounded. So you can move it one square.

I still have a few things that need clarifying before I can propose an itinerary:
- If the table was lying horizontally between the two doors, and the door to the eastern room was closed, would an enemy sitting in the western room be able to move the table N or S, and would he still be required to move N or S as he does so?
- When two units are carrying a 2-square object, they both have to move, correct?
- Are there any penalties for moving flaming objects?
- How exactly can you torch an object? Can anybody do it provided he touches the object and has 1 AP (unless not in combat), or do you have to use a weapon like the Fleshroaster? Can I put the spare Gas Tank on the table and shoot it to make it burn?

Yeah. If one of the units posts a move, I'll have to wait for confirmation form the other that he is okay with it. Otherwise the first unit will be moving it by itself.
What I meant was whether both units change their position, or only one of them. One of the previous descriptions seemed to imply that only one needs to actually move, I'm guessing that in the current incarnation of the rules, both need to move (i.e. change their position)?
Sounds to me if you try to remove the thing, you're pretty likely to blow yourself up, or at least immolate yourself. Both would make for a good show, though!
Yeah, but as far as I understand, apart from the Gas Tank in the Fleshroaster, we also have a spare one in our inventory.
Anyway, thanks to both of you for the clarifications, definitely helped.
EDIT: Not related, but I just came to a horrible realization -- there is no goddamn toilet in this whole goddamn base, or at least not in the low-security part!
