issue.
maybe roll troop quality against fire control die - better FC will get
systems-down risks (ones) less often, but when they do, it's harder to
stop
them :-).

Attacker's dice roll is their fire control (FC) dice, Basic FC is D6,
enhanced FC is D8, superior FC is D10. Rolling a "1" automatically
happens
less often with the higher quality fire controls.
    Rolling the troop quality die (green D6, regular D8, veteran D10),
against the leader ship number (1 = good, 2 = fair, 3 = mediocre),
reflects
training and motivation. Rolling the leadership number or less indicates
that the FC system has definitely failed, giving a Firer Systems Down
chit.
Rolling higher than the leadership, means that the element can fire
again on
the next activation, and that a potentially serious problem has been
averted.
    I hope this explanation has been helpful.
