Any ideas?

One interesting alternative is to alter the effectiveness of weapons
systems versus KV armour. For example the table on page 29 of the DSII
rules, could be manipulated to produce different valid damage chits.

This chart of weapon and armour effectiveness may be of some use:

System			Effectiveness
------			-------------
HEL:				 50%
HEL:				 25%		- Ablative Armour

RFAC & HVC
- Close:			 75%
- Medium:			 50%
- Long: 		 25%

HKP & MDC
- Close:			100%
- Medium:			 75%
- Long: 		 50%

DFFG:
- Close:			200%
- Medium:			100%
- Long: 		 50%

IAVR, GMS & SLAM
- Normal:			 75%
- Ablative:			 75%
- Reactive:			 50%
- Active:			 25%

HEF
- Infantry:			 75%
- Infantry:			 50%		- Dug-in or Urban
- Armour:			 25%
- Armour:			Ineff.	- Dug-in or Urban

MAK
- Armour:			 75%
- Armour:			 50%		- Dug-in or Urban
- Infantry:			 25%
- Infantry:			Ineff.	- Dug-in or Urban

DPL (Dual Purpose Loads)
- all:			 50%
- all:			 25%		- Dug-in or Urban
