G5.6 Exception

[WaterRabbit]

Ok a silly question, but where does the Exception end in this rule? The closing square bracket is missing.

"Any Small Arms PBF/TPBF, MOL, MG, IFE, DC or HE attack [EXC: AP HE Equivalency; a Collateral/Residual-FP attack vs any hut Location (even vs a Bypassing unit therein) causes a Flame in that hut if the Original colored dr of its Effects DR is a 1."

My guess is that the closing bracket goes just before the "vs".

Agreed. The words "that hut" are clearly outside the bracket, so the first use of the word "hut" must also be outside.

There's some English-grammar word for that relationship, but I never claimed to be an English major...

That is where I would put it also.

NRBH, but does the book typically use semi-colons to separate a list of parenthetical items/exceptions?

The correct reading is:
"[EXC: AP HE Equivalency; a Collateral/Residual-FP attack]".

Thanks, it would be nice if they put this in an Errata...
