Battle wagons

I don't know if this is a bug or the game manual is just out-of-date. When determining the number of shooting dice for a battle wagon with crossbows the manual says 3 but in game while I was playing with the Hussites I noticed that they only got 2 dice in open terrain. This was the same for the artilley version of the battle wagon. Below I've inserted the rules from the game manual. Please clarify as this has a huge impact upon the quality of the wagons.

Missile combat
1.Determine the number of attacks

1 Foot with differently armed rear ranks of light foot.

2 Skirmishers, light chariots or heavy chariots. Foot with differently armed rear ranks of medium foot. Mounted with differently armed rear ranks of cavalry.

3 Other Medium foot, battle wagons, other cavalry or camels.

4 Artillery

Thanks and will test and clarify before the next update.

Just bumping this as this makes a huge difference to armies that utilize battle wagons. They end up being skirmishers if left with 2 dice. Also your rules state that they are meant to have 3.

Cheers,

The game is correct and it should only be two shots. Its the documentation thats wrong and that has been updated ready for the next update 1.6.2.
