Carriers

[DC]

On page 6 of issue 4 of the Journal, there is a table comparison between "mounted" and "unmounted" carriers.

The table shows that "mounted" A carriers can fire 4FP at range 8 - how is this calculated? Can HS crew of Carriers fire thiet inherent FP along with the LMG?

Looks like it could be a typo to me. Though I am far from familiar with Carriers.

Note:

The HS in the example could be a part of a FG with the Carrier's non-ordnance weapons (see D6.64) although the 8 hexes is long range.

Also, the MMG variant of the Carrier A has 4 FP. Not sure if that has any relevance to this example, though.

No journal handy but any of this errata clarify the problem:
