I don't see any errata for the following rule typo.
G5.6 Fire: 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.

Should it read,"...[EXC: AP HE Equivalency]...," or should it read,"...[EXC: AP HE Equivalency; a Collateral/Residual-FP attack vs. any hut Location (even vs. a Bypassing unit therein)]..."

I vote for the latter. The presence of the ; in other exception strings and the grammar both seem to favor that.

I asked Perry the same question. Here is my question and his reply, sent to me on 8 May 2004

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

Great. Thanks for the help guys.
So if it's a "Perry says" does that make it an unofficial errata?

I wouldn't have noticed it, but I was applying the new "EXC:" style of RBv2 to my OCR'd RBv1 text and I couldn't find the closing bracket.
