The second bullet in section 1.5.8 Rapid Fire states "In a Rapid Fire attack, D12 hit probabilities on the GUNFIRE CRT are increased to include “11”= one hit and “12” = two hits (for 1+ - 2 probability), as noted in the dialog box to the right of the EQUIVALENT HITS table."What happens if the adjusted hit probability is less than 1+ - 2?

I read this to mean that the "12" = two hits only applies for 1+ - 2 (and presumably 1+ - 3) hit probabilities but that "11" = one hit applies in all rapid fire situations.However, if this is the case, then the dialog box to the right of the EQUIVALENT HITS table is misleading as it makes no mention of a difference if the adjusted hit probability is less than 1+ - 2?

The way we've played it in playtest, is the Rapid Fire results (11 for 1 hit, 12 for 2 hits) is in addition to whatever the table has for the range in question. So for the US 6" at 12000yds, under Rapid Fire 1 hit is scored on a roll of 1, 10, and 11 and 2 hits are scored on a roll of 2 and 12. (Under normal fire, 1 hit would be scored on a 1 and 10, and 2 hits on a 2).

The Rapid Fire probabilities follow the basic gunnery probabilities for an attack. When the gunnery probability is "1+ - 2", rapid fire will add 11 = 1 hit and 12 = 2 hits to the basic 1 and 10 = 1 hit and 2 = 2 hits. Same holds for "1+ - 3", except that in addition, a "3" = 3 hits. However, if the gunnery probability is only "1+", then only the "11" is added. In that case 1, 10 and 11 all = 1 hit. As you can see, I've kept the mnemonic throughout that 1 and its derivatives (10 and 11) = 1 hit, 2 and 12 = 2 hits and 3 = 3 hits.
