New Rules Clarification Request: Cruiser rules

[Guinness]

The tech tree says:

1900: ammunition hoists, deck torpedo armament, superfiring mounts. Cruisers under 6000 tons may have cross-sectional hull strength > 0.9

But I've seen some cruisers floating around* which seem to be using .90 for overall hull strength, not cross sectional. I'm reading the rule wrong?

IIRC; it was suppose to be Composite and should be Composite when we talked about it. It has not been updated to reflect this. Blame my fat fingers for the inital mixup.

Thanks! That changes things :)

What Snip said.
There's a batch of updates/clarifications from...a couple weeks ago...I've been slacking on. I really expected to do it the past weekend.

One fixes that.

The prior discussion's modified cruiser tech language has now been added to the tech charts.
Sorry for the delay.

Cruiser Architecture: For all years, Cruisers with turrets shall have a composite hull strength > 1.0.
Baseline: guns in single mounts or casemates, on side/centerline
1900: ammunition hoists, deck torpedo armament, superfiring mounts. Cruisers under 6000 tons may have composite hull strength > 0.90
1910: twin gun mounts (require hoists); powered gun mounts; unrestricted weapon armor
1920:  No restriction (high or low) on caliber of turreted guns. Cruisers under 3000 tons may have composite hull strength > 0.75, Cruisers under 8000 tons may have composite hull strength >0.90


Note : Effective HY1 1913 :  Pre-existing cruisers are grandfathered. If they have a turret and 0.90 hull, presume they have required extra bracing, and the lesson has been learned.
