If the target ship has no screens or armour, any damage done by the
reroll die is counted exactly as for normal damage by that weapon
type - e.g. if a beam battery shot scores a six, then apply two points
of damage and reroll - on a reroll score of 1-3 there is no further
damage, on a 4 or 5 apply 1 more point, and on a 6 apply two
(and reroll again).
If the target ship has SCREENS active, then the effects of the
screen are deducted from the initial attack dice as usual
(if applicable), but NOT from the result of any reroll dice
- the reroll is assumed to have already penetrated the screen,
and any further damage done is applied directly to the ship itself.
