Thats seems about right

sorry meant the total amount of damge from missles the guy who taught us
said to count up how many missle hits the roll PD and the roll dice for
each missle is that incorrect?

OK now Im really going to HAVE to order the rules :)

They had pretty predicable plots yes and moved pretty slow <4 so t wasnt
too dificult

Yes they were 

I agree I honestly was surprised (pleasently) when he did I wasnt going
to
correct him til after the battle :)

As stated earlier they moved noth slowly and very predictably the one
time
I thought he would close too quickly is when I spaced them out

Yep I think you are correct at first it did seem a bit restrictive now
Im
not sure because of the predicable movement they had could have offset
that
alot

Thanks for all your comments and suggestions it helps
