Re: Dirtside II Damage Chits

 As I get deeper into counting threory I'm getting more and more
disturbed by the chit system used in DSII for assessing damage.  As you
draw more chits the number remaining in the bowl gets smaller and so the
chances start to get squewed as you draw them.	Now the rules say that
you should remix the chits after each activation, but for those vehicles
with a lot of weapons or a very high weapons rating, they get the
benefit of the squew while the others suffer.
>   The alternative is to re-mix after every draw, truly anoying...  So
for now I use a unpunched group and roll 1d20 and 1d8 as a grid. 
However I think it would be much better if GZG created a new chart using
percentile dice.  I would love to get a copy of such an animal.

I'm going to have to go on record saying `frankly, its not a problem.'
Meaningfully, the only differences you'll see in most engagements is
that units with large numbers of weapons with high powers become more
and more likely to get a *BOOM* result than those with lower
powers/numbers.  This passes my `reality check' mental model, in that
it seems intuitive that units with large numbers of powerful weapons
/should/ be more likely to ruin someone's day.

If there is a problem (one I consider rather minimal), its that larger
weapons are more likely to get a FIRER SYSTEMS OUT effect than
smaller, but I consider that an adequate counterbalance to the *BOOM*
effect, so I'm happy in general.

In extremity, if it bothers you that much, you can go with the
resultion system in STARGRUNT II, converting Armour rating to a d? and
treating the damage that way.
