Thanks for the reply but you never answered which was intended to be
correct. The text that said 15cm +8caf, or the template's 10cm +12?
I'm leaning towards the text's 15/8 for the reasons below.
I'd make the Rot Cannon a building destroyer but probably not a
plague spreader to keep it from being to strong. Makes me wish they
had named it something else though. I'd would go one or the other if
I had my way.
Of course I'd also like the Plague Cannon to have a 50cm range also
but it did originally only have a 25cm range.
