Hi
Could we have a list of the damage chits on this site please? I know they're in the Yahoo group, but I think there's an error somewhere...
In this game:
http://www.youplay.it/play/bm_GameMove.asp?GameID=149093&UserID=tomskiIudex has taken two Red hits to the engine, in a Camel. The minimum engine damage on a red hit is 3. Two would therefore knock out the engine, but somehow he's still moved 1S1.
Is this correct / how is it possible please?
Thanks
Tom
I believe I have solved the mystery of the Red Engine Critical!

Since the engine hits in question came from head-on shots, it is very possible that one, if not both, are really converted TAIL hits. The number part of the damage gets applied to the engine and the text part is ignored. So, if the actual chit was "1 Tail, must turn right 2 turns" it would be resolved as if it read "1 engine" in a head-on situation.
Maybe I should change my nick to Sherlock Holmes!
