The section on Methods of Movement on page 40 of the rules states that a unit's move will be shown as a two character code followed by a number in brackets.

Looking at the army lists, both the examples in the book and the versions now available to download the move column shows a two digit number followed, sometimes, by a one or two character code.

Can someone point me to the instructions on how to interpret the army list codes, and, in particular, what do do when no code is present?

Cheers,
Paul

There is a similar issue with the Hits attribute where the army lists do not match the definition in the rules? They are close but different enough to cause some head scratching.

It seems like in both cases the FWC2 rules have been updated to allow for more variation but the army lists are written using previous definitions, i.e. from CWC2?

As an aside it would be really useful to have all the army list abbreviations as a sorted list. This would be easier to reference than the list of special ability names that include the abbreviation in the description. It would be great to include all the "standard" codes as well as the special abilities. It might also help to highlight where there are currently discrepancies? I will see if I can put a first pass together.

Apologies, I tried to edit my additional message to correct the reference to CWC2, where I realised it was FWC1 and instead managed to create an additional post. And now it's too late to edit or delete either of them. Hopefully the meaning is clear.
