I was under the impression that the road sections for ash waste campaigns provided XD6 x10 credits as I had been looking at the necrovox rules for said campaign and i figured the "x10" wasnt iterated on necrovox as its usually the standard for income from any source unless its "x5". I finally got the actually ash wastes rulebook and im seeing that the income stated for road sections simply says 2D6 credits, 3D6 credits. etc. (2-12creds 3-18 creds)

This is confusing to me because in every other situation the game seems to ensure you always have an amount of credits that is divisible by 5 for simplicities sake, and also the income if those numbers arent multiplied by 10 is just pathetic, i originally thought the ash waste campaign was more profitable because you had the added expense of vehicles and their repairs, now im at a bit of a loss.

Just curious if im right in my new interpretation of the rules.

Thank you for your time.
 
Yeah, Ash Wastes income is deliberately paltry.

It's out of kilter with a lot of Necromunda, but also a welcome change where credits simply aren't under every forgotten dome, but you're in fact stuck in an inhospitable, mostly profitless wasteland.

(Arguably, that could be true anywhere on Necromunda. But they made it a prominent factor in the Ash Wastes income, and the costs of vehicle repairs etc.)
