Error in rules?

Below is an extract from the game rules. Shouldn't the fractions be reversed, i.e. fragmented = x 1/2?

Modify the number of attacks for battle groups current cohesion level

Fragmented or very disordered : Quantity attacks = attacks x 2 / 3
OR
Disrupted or disordered : Quantity attacks = attacks x 1 / 2

Yes fragged should lose 1 die per 2 for combat, disordered is lose 1 die per 3.
Never noticed that in the game so far but if you have noticed it in the combat summary window its a definate mistake alright.

A different section of the rules has this:

Cohesion Multiplier
A disrupted or disordered battle group loses 25% of its attacks.
A fragmented or severely disordered battle group loses 50% of its attacks.

So fragmented is what we think it should be, but disrupted is 1 in 4, not 1 in 3.

Thats the difference between the table top game and the pc version I guess. TT game you lose 1 per 3 dice, pc game making 25% was more likely just easier for the game to calculate. pretty much comes down to the same thing in the end. In the pc game you always start with 4 dice, in the TT game you can get anywhere from 4 to 8 dice, 6 being most common, depending on the size of the battlegroup you have.
so on the TT you have 4 dice you end up with 3 dice, 6 dice you get 4 dice, 8 dice would be 5 dice in the end, almost works out the same way in the PC game.

I'll look at the copy in help but in the game the number of attack die rolls for disruption/fragmented are the same as the TT. Keith
