I have to agree with this... 10 points is pretty low for that amount of
damage.  I am assuming that the damage is for the squadron as a whole,
and 
not per fighter... 6 x 2d6 blows down SDNs!  Hmmm.  Maybe make it for
the 
squadron as a whole, and subtract one damage for each fighter that has
been 
destroyed.  

Otherwise, the rebel alliance should have won the war a LONG time ago.

I guess the problem is that you can only do so many different
combinations 
of d6.	(d6 flambe, d6 a la monde, d6 with cream sauce, etc.  (8-) )
