Bombardment Table Modifier

[daedalus]

On the Bombardment table, the last modifier in the right-hand column states the following.

+2 Target is adjacent to firing unit that is not a mortar or rocket.

Now, I have always interpreted this to mean that if the firing unit was a mortar or rocket unit it would not get the +2 column shift. Today, I was playing someone who interpreted the modifier differently. He felt that the +2 was warranted as long as the target was not a mortar or rocket.
