Oh, I misread what he was saying there. Hmm. Throw too much in and 
the game system will get harder and slower. Drop a die if the vehicle 
moves more than 10" per movement. But if it's in a straight line, 
it's a piece of cake on the lead isn't it? Or is that being 
compensated for by the better firecon's higher die type?
