Yeah, I kept mine more of a "whip up something for flavor" and threw in a few die rolls to keep things interesting. I made them roll some dice to heighten the tension, had some NPCs catch some shrapnel or get blown to bloody bits, and sometimes told them the the concussive force knocked them to the ground or rocked their vehicle.
But unless you really want some dead PCs in the very first adventure, it's usually not best to go full on rules for the Escape from Kalisz adventure. It's enough of the sh*t storm without blowing up their characters to boot.
