Subject: DS2: Multi-Mounts/Single Targets

I was writing up stats for a tank miniature that I have. And it brought up a
question. This tank had 3 identical guns in its turret. It looked about size
4. So I placed 3 class 2 DFFC's in the turret. My question is:
Do multi-mounts attack as 1 weapon?
Would I roll 1 attack or 3? If I roll 1 attack, would I draw 6 chits for the
attack or 3 sets of

2?
6 chits makes it a very dangerous tank up close. 3 sets of 2 makes it a weak
tank for its size.

Also, I thought that I read in the rules that you can only attack with 1

type of system against 1 target. But when I went to find this again, I
couldn't find it. Is it there or did I misread it the first time?

If I'm reading the DS2 rules correctly (and this is the way we play here),
roll for three attacks separately, but they all have to be at the same
target.  Draw chits separately too.  And you are correct -- all three
weapons would have to be the same type and size.

Of course feel free to have house rules that allow otherwise...
