As I muddy through the ruleset, I am confused by the following inconsistencies in the text on p. 25.

First, I read the basic shooting concept to be all shooting is at POA 0 unless the chart says otherwise.

The text, however, conflicts with that chart.

The text says:

"Only Firearms and Artillery shoot [Heavily Armoured Foot] at 0."

But the chart assigns a - to Crossbow, firearm or artillery shooting "Any foot." As I read the rule, no troop shoots Heavily Armoured Foot at better than -.

Then the text says:

"Everyone shoots [2 base deep Unprotected Cavalry] at ++."

But the chart assigns a ++ to any shooters "except crossbow, firearm or artillery." So corssbow, firearms and artillery should shoot 2 base deep Unprotected Cavalry at 0.

I submit that the text or the chart needs revision to conform one to the other.

They are fossils. The second one has already been spotted and corrected for the next darft, but the 1st one is a new sighting. Thanks!

Happy to help.

BTW do the entries for "Bow" in the shooting POA chart include troops armed with "*Bow"?

Yes, they just get less dice. But, no doubt, it needs clarifiying.
