Wolf and Blake Starter book gives Blakist forces a +2 initiative bonus if Berith is on the field(pg 125). However, based on his triple core processor, he should be granted a +2, as well as an additional +1 so long as his mech has C3i (IO pg 81-82).
Should the +2 given in the starter book be treated as a simplification of the triple core processor rules as given in IO or do these bonuses stack?
