OK here is how 2we did it tell me if this is correct  allocated launch
in
plotting then placed on table top within 36" of launchers then we both
moved we calculated how many salvoes would hit then he divided his PD
fire
between the salvoes then we added up all the missles that would hit and
started rolling damage I stopped at 72 pts (he was destroyed by then)
with
some more rolls to go

Ah yes many salvoes not just one :)

I think now everyone understands my quandry (at least a little anyway)
which is why I wanted some help/clarification it just seemed way to easy
to
blow them apart with missles
