I can't seem to get an answer in the errata thread and this is
not the errata point covered before (division by 5), so I'm asking here.
Alpha Strike, Commander's Edition, 6th printing, p. 138, "Arming a Building".
First, determine a maximum number of damage points the building’s weapons may deliver per weapon emplacement by taking the building’s CF These damage points must then be distributed among the emplacement’s Short, Medium, and Long range damage values.
wall method says:
If the wall method is chosen, a building may place one weapon emplacement in each of its outer walls, as long as each wall has a different facing direction.
rooftop method says:
If the rooftop method is chosen, the armed building may feature one rooftop turret for every (non-overlapping) 2-inch diameter area the building’s shape takes up on the underlying terrain.
Assuming a CF18 building (high range of Heavy), the wall method indicates that I get, say, 4 weapon emplacements, each 6/6/6. I'd also argue that rooftop method uses "turret" as another way to say "weapon emplacement" (since "Weapon Placement:" talks about multiples of those).
This seems not to be as intended? The intent seems to be for the player to divide those 18 points among all weapon placements (resulting in, for example, three turrets of 3/3/0 damage values). If this is the case, "Arming a Building" should specify "among all weapon emplacements" or to this effect, instead of "per weapon emplacement".
