The way we've been playing it is the armour subtracts one point for
every 
armour level, with the minimum damage being 1.	e.g:  attacking a Cap
ship 
with level 2 armour would mean that a pulse torp. would do 1-4 points of

damage with a 50% chance of only doing 1 point.

Don't hastily count out the "screaming hordes" theory.	One "messing
around 
battle" I've had, I wanted to see what 2000 point fleet of destroyers
would 
do against a 2000 point of a normal fleet (Light Carrier, Dreadnought,
etc.); 
my friend killed five of my destroyers (out of 21) and I wiped him off
the 
table.	Needless to say, he was not happy at my choice of ships.  (Kept 
claiming it wasn't legal because FT campaign rules limit escorts to 50%
of 
the total number of ships.  I contend that if my fleet was THAT
effective, 
then most likely the governments would most likely have a LOT of small
ships 
with a few big guns, but I digress)

I wonder what my horde of destroyers would do against the KV?  Maybe
there's 
a lesson to be learned.....
