This might have already been picked up, but there is a definition of HP3B in Appendix 3 Glossary of Terms but nothing for HP2B.

Thanks Neil. But does it really need a separate definition?

If I was being pedantic/literal I could argue that 1 hit on an elephant/artillery/etc BG = one HP2B for cohension test. I don't apply the rule this way, but someone will!

Then you have our permission to slap them.

No - but HP3B should be reworded as a generic HPnB where n can be any number.

"My lud, in my defence, I was given permission to slap my opponent by RBS. I filmed the slapping on my mobile so I could post it to the Slitherine Web site to teach rule lawyers some respect".

How about this:
HP2B (Hits per 2 bases)
&
HP3B (Hits per 3 bases)
1 HPxB = 1 hit per x bases in the battle group, except that:
Elephants and artillery count front rank bases only, but each counts as 2 bases.
Battle wagons count the bases from one rank or file, whichever is the greater number. Each base counts as 2 bases.
Other troops count all bases in the front 3 ranks only.
Commanders’ bases do not count.

That looks pretty much on the money although I did rather like the slapping approach
