So as per the BRB an attacking model with a WS2 hits a target unit with WS4 on a 5+.

All of the other Attackers WS vs targets WS work off of a formula, but 2 attacking 4 does not.

Spoiler:

Does anyone know if this was a deliberate change or a typo? It was not like that in 6th.

P.S. who else did not notice this change?

The explanation on the to hit table still says that the mechanic is more the double WS is 5+ to hit. I'm pretty sure this is just a typo

**Eihnlazer**

yeah probably a typo.

**DanielBeaver**

It's a misprint. The table in the reference section at the back of the book shows 4+, and the text of the rules is "if it is more than twice as high, he is hit on 5+"

I see nothing wrong with the sentence. Double of 2 is 4 you hit on 4's, more than double like say 2 ws vs 5 ws you hit on 5's.
2 + 2 =4 double , +1 for a 5 is more than double. Since weapon skill always deals in whole numbers just remember the rule of 3. If your ws is 3 lower than that which your attacking you need 5's. Tada

The chart has a typo.

They never said the enjoyment of the rules had to be from playing the game. Some people like Easter Egg hunts and the OP found a nice one. Gee Dubs, making Easter fun!

Indeed, indeed....
I think I have spent more time enjoying the discussions concerning broken Rules then I have playing the entire game.
