So... I reported a bug that the Mark IV Ogre in the video game has only 56 treads, but looking at the 6th Edition information that is, in fact, what is on the Reference sheets.

The Mark IV has been 60 treads from 1978-2000 in the boardgame; when was that decision made and why?

From what I can tell, this is Ogre Miniatures bleeding into the rules, where the Mark IV has 56 treads. It's subtle, but I feel like it's wrong.

What's the "correct" number of treads? I don't mean "just because it's printed in ODE as 56" either. I mean, was some decision tree used and 56 the "new official" number, or was it an oversight to use 56 instead of 60 and it needs errata?
