Battlefield Evolution - Damage Dice

[colinjallen]

Hi,
I have just bought some BE figures and have read the enclosed rules with great interest. However, I have questions about the use of damage dice as follows:

1. When a target figure is allocated more than one damage dice, does the combined total count against the Target and Kill ratings or are they counted as separate attacks? For example, a British infantry fire team scores 4 damage dice against a Chinese 3 man team; one of the Chinese figures is allocated damage dice of 3 and 1, does this count as 4 or as two separate rolls of 3 and 1?

2. Chinese figures have an armour rating of '-'; I assume this means that they are always killed/incapacitated by hits that equal or exceed their target number, is this correct? If so, why do they have a kill number?

Thanks,
Colin

1) separate attacks
2) correct. Kill is just for sake of completeness and to avoid possible problems in future if kill becomes important even without armour.

Hi Cosmic Mongoose,

Thanks.

The answer to question 2 makes sense but my initial thought was that multiple damage dice against a particular target should be combined. Otherwise, what is the point of allocating additional damage dice beyond the number of figures in the target unit, unless it is to help cause a double suppression when using an LMG? Also, the USMC Recon Team has a kill score of 7+, so how can one obtain an automatic kill against them without combining the damage dice, unless using a heavy weapon which uses a D10.

I have just realised the error in my earlier post; a damage dice of 1 would, of course, be discarded so please read it as 3 and 2, not 3 and 1!

Double suppression+if you allocate 1 and 5 to same guy he dies unlike if you had allocated just 2

And every weapon isn't supposed to cause automatic kill. USMC recon team just ain't going to be killed just like that without bit beefier guns.
