[Epic] Net Epic - Multiple template barrages

Multiple template barrages, like that of Barrage Missile of titans, can
cover any area starting from the initial template so long as each template
touches the one before that, and none of the templates overlap.

Now, this is stretching the "reality" a little bit too far. In "real"
barrages, the "main gun", which is located roughly in the center of the
battery, is used for spotting shots, and when the whole battery shoots, the
projectiles fall roughly -around- the that of the "main gun". It is similar
in the case of scattering rocket barrages. The individual rockets fall
randomly around the point which they have been aimed. However, in Epic, you
can position your templates in such a way that they snake around buildings
and obstacles and what-not, well into the area you normally cannot see.

A logical solution to the problem could be that:
        "Extra templates in multiple-template barrages are placed in such a way
that, the number of templates at one side of the line-of-sight from the
weapon to the initial template cannot exceed the number of templates at the
other side by more than one"(Tested house rule).

How about that?
