Default Car Wars Classic Errata

Well, I know of at least one item in Car Wars Classic that needs to go on the errata list:

The list of "To-Hit" modifiers on page 27 (under Visibility) list the penalty for firing through smoke or paint as -2 per counter.
Which contradicts the rules in the Paint and Smoke section (page 33, second paragraph of the section), which list the to-hit roll penalty as -1 per 1/2". (And which agrees with the Compendium).

Darn, thought I'd fixed that.

The entry on page 27 (penalty of -2 per counter fired through) is wrong. The entry on page 33 (penalty of -1 per 1/2" of counter fired through) is correct. As noted above, this agrees with the entry on page 40 of the Car Wars Compendium.

What if it's less than 1/2" of smoke/paint?, I hear you asking. Round up.

Then shouldn't the rules read: (penalty of -1 per 1/2" or fraction thereof of counter fired through) ? (Addition in bold italic.)

That would be one way to fix it, yes.
