Level Up (A5E) Stronghold garrison veterans

On page 361 of the Adventurer's Guide, the Garrison option for strongholds says that you get a garrison half the size of the number of staff for the stronghold, and that for every 30 soldiers in the garrison, you get 1 veteran.

On page 371, the Wilverley Castle example stronghold has a staff of 600, a garrison of 300, and 15 veterans. That means it gets 1 veteran for every 20 soldiers in its garrison.

There's no errata listed for this. Which soldier:veteran ratio is correct?

The main thing that bugged me for the 30:1 ratio is that it's out of sync with the staff:follower ratio of 100:1 and the garrison:knight ratio of 200:1. 20:1 would give exactly 10 veterans and 1 knight for a garrison of 200, but 30:1 gives 6 ⅔ veterans to go with 1 knight. This made the Wilverley Castle example feel more likely to be a real value rather than just a math mistake.


Other stronghold typo: The Encampment has a minimum size of "1 acre feet" instead of just "1 acre".
