Unless I've misinterpreted I think you've missed an option. We roll for
the 
magazine on a threshold check (rolling for individual missiles just
seemed 
to add to many rolls to what can be a long process in big games). If the

magazine is repaired then you get all the unused missiles back no
question. 
In this particular case we were more concerned with speed of play than 
anything else (seeings how SML intensive my fleet usually ends up). As
far 
as we've found it's fast and doesn't seem to cause any imbalance. We did

toy with if you roll a 1 on the threshold check the magazine blew.... as

you may have guessed we stopped doing that when it became obvious that
the 
French fleet was never ever going to survive its terrible run of tragic 
magazine breeches at the hands of Admiral Fulton ;)
