To be entirely honest, I found it odd why it would specify the combat table only when it's the same one the Ally perk is on. I mean, one of my thoughts was it was to prevent a squad of Allies rolled up only to be human packmules (via choosing all the Big Bag perks from the support table, or the Hyperspace power, or something), but this all occurred to me while I was pulling an all-nighter trying to get more headway towards finishing the actual sheet.

That's a pretty valid way of looking at the conundrum.
