Have the point clarified - ok. No more.

1) add up FP
2) place BMs according to that FP
3) substract BMs from THAT FP.

That's the normal order. There is no exeption mentionen for WEs, so BMs
can only be substracted from whatever is in range for the time being.

GW games are no simulation whatsoever.

Don't have them shot at. Possible.

A couple means six here.

a) that's what the rules say
b) the rules are bad


a) is definately true, b) may have to do with game balance
