Ummm... I think I'm right when I say that in 2nd Ed a battery of
three artillery guns added their BP's to a single barrage attack? ie.
an artillery co. could fire 5 templates (2 for each basilisk battery,
1 for the bombards). The only Imperial ground artillery that could
fire 3 linked templates from a single battery were Manticores. It was
their (2nd) special rule, and was intended to make people like them
more. It didn't work.
