Rules Q: Fragmentation attacks
Hi all,
I just noticed in the BYB that the pg 258 Fragmentation Attack chart and the pg 207 rules/chart are different. The pg 207 rules are more lethal (1-2 / 3-4 for chance getting hit by multiple / single fragments, vs. 1 / 2 on pg 258)... ... but this makes the secondary burst radius (1-2 / 3-4) not lot different from the primary burst radius (1-3 / 4-6). I'm not a military man, but pg 258 feels more 'right' to me... Which do you guys use? Andrew Edit: falling back on my physics degree for a second - surface area of the sphere = pi x r x r. So if 'r' doubles, the area goes up by factor of 4. So the fragment density would be 1/4 at the edge of the secondary radius, compared to at the edge of the primary radius. This explains my feeling, at least Last edited by atiff; 02-28-2011 at 09:45 AM. |
