Ah, the beauty of this game system is that you apply a little more "real
life" approach to the game! Rather than calculating the odds based on
matematical considerations try considering Troops to Task and relevant
weapons etc. I think you'll find a more enjoyable game too.

How so? I think I must misunderstand your meaning here. Can you give an
example of two modifiers?

In the game system some die shifts are Open ie when you get up to D12
you
then start shifting the opponents die DOWN.
