[Rules] Bombardment Chart - Example

[triangular_cube]

An X has to give the stack a step loss, not each unit in the stack... otherwise whats the point of the 3X results on the DF table? To move each unit in the stack to negative 1 step?

In your DF example, it would be up the player taking the hit. A 3-stack could lose one step a piece if that is how the owning player wished to distribute the 3X step DF table loss to appropriate units.

Thats not at all what is being stated above, where people are arguing X or XX or XXX applies to each unit in the stack, not the stack as a whole. Which is nonsensical, as a 3X would result in each unit losing 3 steps going to negative 1.
