Which reminds me of one popular local complaint about FT. There really 
no such thing as a critical hit. You've got to pound the shit out of a
big ship forever, to neutralize or destroy it. Not as satisfying as 
seeing a WWI German cruiser blow sky high on a magazine hit in a game 
of Panzerschiffe the other day. And remember the Hood?

What kind of critical-hit rules have folks put into their games?
