RE: [FT] WotW 2: EMP Weapons

G'day Bri,

OK this stems from the openness with which we play our games, even with 
custom ships we're allowed to see what the other guy has got.

That's why I made the suggestion of rolling three dice and taking your 
lumps if its a double up - whether you're rolling twice for one system
and 
once for another or once for 3 systems its still much faster than
rolling 
once for everything.

Not necessarily. I was actually thinking of something more along the
lines 
of "all EMP weapons fired from a single ship onto the same target must
use 
the same 123 vs 456 for all of them" - obviously this is per turn and
the 
123 etc could be changed each turn. However, I know this isn't going to 
appeal to all and reflects my desire for these to be rare rather than
main 
weapons.

Cheers
