When I commented about a chart for possible complications resulting from the 10% chance of failure on mortar rounds made by the Wojo plant, I really didn't expect there to be such a response. Not that I'm complaining at all.
At the time, I was hoping someone might come up with enough possibilities to make something like a 2d6 chart, or maybe percentiles. Now I see there are too many results to fit on a 2d6 roll, but 3d6 might work. (I like Legbreaker's idea of putting the more disastrous results at the ends of a bell curve; it helps to keep the odds low enough that players won't be afraid to use mortars)
And, like Bobcat suggested, this could be applied to any other facilities that are making weapons during he war, with variable odds of failure depending on the level of quality control in place at the facility in question.
I am looking forward to seeing what comes from this. And also, to see what kinds of possible complications there are that I hadn't thought of.
