Default Rules Q: Fragmentation attacks

Hi all,

I just noticed in the BYB that the pg 258 Fragmentation Attack chart and the pg 207 rules/chart are different.

The pg 207 rules are more lethal (1-2 / 3-4 for chance getting hit by multiple / single fragments, vs. 1 / 2 on pg 258)...

... but this makes the secondary burst radius (1-2 / 3-4) not lot different from the primary burst radius (1-3 / 4-6).

I'm not a military man, but pg 258 feels more 'right' to me... Which do you guys use?

Andrew

Edit: falling back on my physics degree for a second - surface area of the sphere = pi x r x r. So if 'r' doubles, the area goes up by factor of 4. So the fragment density would be 1/4 at the edge of the secondary radius, compared to at the edge of the primary radius. This explains my feeling, at least
