There's only one small problem....

When rolling a number of dice equal to the weapon class and of type according
to weapon damage, and comparing the highest die with the opponent's highest
dice of a number of D6s according to the target's armour level; if the damage
dice are bigger than D6, there is between 25% (D8) to 50% (D12) chance of
kill, no matter what the defender rolls. Similarly for HEL attacking ablative
armour, the defender has a 33.3% chance to be immune to the HEL, no matter
what size it is. I found this interesting fact out in this afternoon's play
test using 1938 French versus English. As a method, it's quicker than chit
draw or using my chit tables, about 1 minute at most for a platoon that moves,
shoots and hits, 30 seconds if they all miss. As a method it's nice and easy.
But the problem with the armour remains. So while the average is spot on, the
range of the dice causes the problem, once compared to another dice of a
different sort. At the moment, I haven't thought of a good answer to this
problem.
