RE: [sg2] xD12 vs D12 * x (was:Oerjan Ohlson's Dreams)

I too will sign on to rolling a number of d12 for vehicle armor AND
vehicle
weapons equal to the class. As SG2 emphasizes infantry, this should not
come
up enough times to really slow down a game. If you have that many
vehicles,
you should be using DS2 instead.
