This came up at the tournament on the weekend. When placing a 3 barrage template barrage does the initial template have to be placed so that it covers the maximum number of targets in the unit possible under that initial template?
Yes.

These have to be placed to cover the maximum number of units not yet covered, see the third Q&A in 1.9.8.
http://www.tp.net-armageddon.org/faq/#198-barragesThanks for clearing up. The extra template faq is helpful as it differs from the core rules which say:
'Note that once the first template has been placed, the attacker may choose where to place the additional templates, as long as they are touching the first template, and no line of fire, placement or range restrictions apply'
I've always found it very ambiguous. You can also interpret it in multiple ways:
"Attacker may choose where... as long as... no placement... restrictions apply"
Or
"Attacker may choose. No placement restrictions apply."
Neither of which would explain why no line of fire restrictions apply but number of unit placement restrictions do.
