[DSII] Oversize Vehicles and the Boom chit

Subject: [DSII] Oversize Vehicles and the Boom chit

Some time ago (and possibly at reoccurring intervals)
there has been discussion of the unfortunate effect
of drawing a boom chit on expensive oversized modular
vehicles.

I assume there is no dispute over the interpretation
of DSII pg 15; a boom chit on any module knocks out
the entire vehicle.

Those of us who own copies of, for example, OGRE may
view this as fairly unrepresentative, especially
when a massive number of shots will be striking the
vehicle.

Can anyone point me at the relevant month of the
archives? Now they are only available in raw form,
I don't have any convenient way of searching them.

If this is a non-starter or there has been no general
agreement as to how to fix the problem, I wouldn't
mind hearing the various house rules people have
used to put the beasts on the battlefield.

I was thinking of trying both re-rating the special
chits for modular vehicles only, and also confining
the damage as the name "modular" suggests:

Boom chit = D8 further chits
DMG chit  = D6 further chits
IMM chit  = D6 further chits on Track modules only
FC chit   = D6 further chits on Weapon modules only

Vehicle immobilised when half of Track modules KO.
All systems in module lost when module KO.
