Confusion regarding missed attacks and recharging

By Destrin, in WFRP Rules Questions

Pg. 50: Note that action cards do not acquire any recharge tokens if the check to perform the action failed - recharge tokens are only placed on the card after it is successfully used.

pg. 74: Fast: These weapons are generally easy to wield and agile. When an attack action with a fast weapon misses, one less recharge token is placed on the corresponding action card.

These two lines are contradictory, do you or do you not get recharge tokens on an attack that misses? I'm assuming you do NOT and therefore fast is useless as written, it should in fact be 'one less recharge token is placed after using an attack action with this weapon'.

Anyone else have any thoughts?

Agreed.

I also read that last night and came to the same conclusion.

The Fast item quality printed in the rulebook is incorrect. No recharge tokens are acquired if the action misses.

The following is the correct description:

Attack actions made with weapons with the Fast quality gain:?
(BOON) Place one fewer recharge token on this action

Not before your latest post I didn't, but I have seen this intermittently in other threads. Nothing that lasted more than a day or two though.
