Autobreak table in the Latest FOG playlist.

Hi guys!
I have found one incompatibility in the results of Autobreak table(that one with %) on page 116 of rulebook, and the Autobreak calculations in table in Latest FOG playlist.
So, e.g. based on rulebook table, BG with 10 Superior bases autobreaks when it takes 5 bases causalities(50% of 10 = 5).
But in the table in Latest FOG playlist we can find that it autobreaks when it takes 6 bases causalities(4 bases are remanning).
Where is the truth?
P.S. Sorry for my English.

A BG breaks when it takes GREATER THAN the stated percentage. Therefore a Superior BG of 10 bases will not break until it has lost 6 bases.

There is no GREATER THAN on page 116.
"Battle groups automatically break immediately when they have lost a certain proportion of their original bases..."
"Battle groups below these break point cannot be rallied and destroy and removed from the table..."
Or, is this word "BELOW" mean that my BG with 10 Superior bases autobreaks when it takes "51% casualties". Is it right reasoning?

Yes, below 50% strength. So 50.1% lost only 49.9% remaining

Hi, table on page 116 lists Superior >50% lost
The chevron, >, means greater than. So superior BGs autobreak when they've lost greater than 50% of their original bases. Rest of the table follows the same reasoning.

The only stupid question is the question you fail to ask.
If stupid questions weren't allowed most of the posts on this forum would be redundant.

Quite so. How else would we get to be a semi-naked Pachyderm?

Actullay Pete the full quote is "there are only two such things as a stupid question. The one you don't ask and that one that you just did."
