Phase 4 - Battle

Can you confirm the meaning of the wording used in step 5 (Score Hits) of the Close Combat Procedure please.
When the rules say 'scores one hit for each burst symbol rolled and one or more solider symbols after applying terrain protection modifiers'.
Does it mean you can only ever score one hit for solider symbols rolled or do you score one hit for each of the solider symbols rolled after applying the terrain protection modifiers?

I do read the 2nd one as correct.
After applying terrain modifiers, all soldier symbols hit.
The difference is that "burdt symbol" always hits.

I was confused by that too. It's why I'm here. This is why examples are such a useful thing in game rules. It would have cleared the whole thing up right away.

Perhaps the rule should have been written and two lines created to make it clearer.
One hit is scored for each burst symbol rolled.
One hit is scored for each soldier symbol rolled.
