Triumviron hyperplasma cutters,

[Whitehaven]

I was looking at the Anciant ships and i have a question about the Triumviron plasma cutters,
Assuming that the ship is firing all it`s cutters at one target how much AD doe`s it inflict,
Is it 6+6+6 then add 2+2 for the bonus = 22AD
or,6 then add the 2+2 bonus for the extra weapons for a total of 10AD.
I think i know the answer but the way the rule is written it can be read either way.just wanted to clear this up

well i may be wrong but i think its 6 on the first 8 on the second and 10 on the last 24 in total

I've always played it as 6+8+8, going on the Armageddon rules, for a total of 22AD. Which by the way is pretty damn nasty.

This was my interpretation when playtesting/proofreading (that's not to say I'm necessarily correct however).

Well, at least I know I was going along the right track and not on some completely irrelevant or incorrect off-shoot.

That is what i asumed it was ,but the way it is described in the fleet book (to me anyway)means that it can be read either way

Unfortunately this happens frequently in every gaming system I've ever heard of, not just miniatures games either. The problem is the person writing the rules knows what they want to say and so that's the only interpretation they can see.

its a shame too, because this confusion happened the last time they described the ancients, in Armageddon!

Yeah, although Ancients came down the list of priorities due to wanting to spend the time on other wording issues and balance issues.
