On page 77 under Missile Combat there is an inconsistency that is making missile deviation calculation difficult to comprehend. "The amount of deviation is equal to the range multiplied by 1.25 / Precision." Yet, in the example below that, the "divided by Precision" part is left out; it's simply 8 x 1.25 = 10. 10 is a lot different than 10/Precision! (In the example the precision was 10).

The difference is pretty big. For example, a unit with Precision 17 can fire with no deviation up to a range of 10 squares. However, once he hits 11 squares, either the max deviation is 13.75 (13?), or 0.57 (0?). If it's the latter, then technically he can fire with no deviation up to 19 squares away, because it's less than 1.
