I was leafing throught the CC and began to wonder how many
rockets/missiles/grenades the listed price covers. I know standard ammo is
for 10 rounds, but that would seem to make these high explosives too cheap.
Any opinions?

Next up. Still in the CC under the Small Unit Tactics skill, it says " A
character using a Battletac master component may also recieve a bonus to his
Small Unit Tactics skill." Flip back to BattleTac master component and
neither entry seems to reference this. The only mention I found was in the
BattleTac overview where the above statement is basically repeated. Does
anyone know of a canon reference on this? Or an opinion if no canon exists?

Price is per individual piece (grenade, rocket,
etc).

Hmmm ... that one even stumps me ... have you sent
Mike M. an email asking him about this?

Have you tried perhaps a previous book that contains some information on the
matter? In this case, in the Man & Machine text under the Tactical Computer
there is some related information. I had also for some reason believed that
under the Advanced Rules in CC that there was in fact more information.

Unless the price lists say otherwise, IMO it's for a single item. Foor
ammo, they say something like "Per 10 rounds" but since that kind of notice
is absent for missiles etc. those are for one.

Well, I can't find anything in the new rules to reference, but in
the old rules for BattleTac (in Fienlds of Fire), characters equipped
with BattleTac-capable communications received a -2 bonus modifier to
their Small Unit Tactics skill. Hope that helps.
