Default Rule on 5:1 Automatic Kills?

Over the holiday, my brother, niece and nephew were playing a big game of OGRE miniatures.

About half way through the game I noticed the little footnote below the CRT:

Quote:
Combat ratios are always rounded off in favor of the defending unit.
Attacks at 5-to-1 or better are an automatic XX.
Attacks at less than 1-to-2 have no effect.
So, has it always been that way? Did I overlook it as a holdover from Panzer Blitz type rules sets?

Quote:
Odds are always simplified and rounded off in defender's favor.
No attacks permitted at worse than 1-4.
Odds greater than 4-1 are treated as 4-1.
Have I been playing it wrong for decades?

Or possibly worse, have I been playing it RIGHT for decades and am just having a senior moment?

Or was it a conscious change in a later edition?

Tanks in advance!
