Since HAGs are a cluster weapon, I would assume that the damage is dealt in groups, but I cannot find the information on the size of the groupings. LRMs do 5 damage groups, SRMs do 2 damage groups, but HAGs do ___?

I'm guessing it's 5 as well, but I can't find it in the rules manual.

https://www.sarna.net/wiki/Hyper-Assault_Gauss_Rifle_40

"Unlike some other weapons using cluster munitions, there is no modifier on the initial attack roll. However, when a hit is scored, a Hyper-Assault Gauss Rifle receives a +2 modifier on the Cluster Hits table at short range, and a –2 modifier at long range. Modified rolls above 12 or below 2 are treated as a 12 or 2 respectively. Damage location is then determined in 5-point groups plus any remainder below 5 being the final roll."

"TechManual, p. 219, "Hyper-Assault Gauss Rifle"

Thank you. Annoying that it doesn't seem to be listed in the standard rules.

Problem is there are a lot of rules and a lot of weapons. The creep was real back in the day!

True, but not as bad as warhammer 40k Laughing

The issue is that in Warhammer 40L the rules get revised with each balance pass... its no wonder the rules are digitized as it is more of a necessity than a convenience.
