Subject: [GZG] Threshold question using Beta fighter rules
Am playing a series of fleet exercises (i.e.better familiarizing myself with the beta fighter rules) and have a question on Threshold damage modifier. The situation:a group of 4 surviving heavy fighters is attacking a NAC Troutbridge-class frigate (hull 2/1/1/1) that has already lost first row of hull boxes (3 remaining);one fighter out of the group rolls a beam die of "6" for 2 points damage on its attack run,thus causing Threshold check to the frigate for losing second and third rows of hull boxes. FB1,p.5 states "If a ship suffers enough damage in a single attack to push it past one Threshold check,make only one check (for last row destroyed) but add 1 to each die roll for extra Threshold point passed in that attack." So do I check Threshold at 4-6,or is it now 3-6 per system? I am interpreting it as 3-6 per system due to going past 2 rows damage at once,but want to make sure I am reading it correctly.Never have been too clear on this point....... BTW,if anyone is interested in how I am conducting the exercise I can post it here in scenario format. Thanks,
