The Royal Manticoran Navy: The Official Honor Harrington Fan Association

I've been perusing the marksmanship manual and I've got a question. (Apologies if this has already been answered)

So I know that if spacer example plays a rpg for three hours they get credits equal to three hours multiplied by the appropriate modifier for having other tRMN members in the game.

The question is what happens if our eponymous hero goes LARPing. For example on Friday time in is at 7pm and time out is at 2am on Saturday morning (7 hours), Saturday times in at 10am and times out at 2am on Sunday morning (16 hours) and Sunday times in at 10am and times out at 3pm (5 hours). Does spacer example tot up the hours then multiply the 28 hours by the appropriate modifier or do they do something else?

I would say 'asking for a friend' but I'm interested in the answer too

Spacer Example would total up the hours of each day individually, and calculate the credits (and multiplier) for each day separately.

However, LARPing is considered Grenade Launcher[1] which gets combined with the Rifle Category for RMN members[2], not Pistol.

It should also be noted that the LARP should be a dedicated LARP activity and not, for example, the SCA where the main purpose is gathering and community with the LARPing as only a minor component.[3]

Thanks for the answer.

Yes, I'm talking LARP not SCA (UK based here).

The reason I took it as a pistol related award is the fact that p5 of the Marksmanship Handbook (24 Sept 2019 version) says GL fall under pistol. I only downloaded that at the end of May. Is the book entry a typo or did I miss a change in categories? I'd like to have the facts straight before I brief my crew

It was an error[1] in the manual, the most recent version of the manual is the wiki version I posted.
