[ASLML] DI Q

Seth came through with the skinny:

>"C3.6: A subsequent dr of 1 is a CH, a 2 is a turret/upper-superstructure
>hit, and a 3 is a hull hit (unless HD)"
>In my book that means that a subsequent dr of 3 will result in a hull hit
>and therefore Immobilization of the target.
>Rolling a 1 is a CH. But since CH is NA to IH (C3.7) it would be a normal
>hit instead. So a subsequent dr of 1 or 3 would result in
>Immobilization. A 2, 4, 5 or 6 would be a miss.

Of which I agree.  This is a pretty rare case.

If you are going to try DI and need an improbable hit to make it happen, you
are probably better off just firing normally and hoping for a CH.  Probably
a better chance for a kill than just going for the DI at that point.  Maybe
if you need a 2 or less to hit anyway and you have zero chance of punching
through if you do hit, you might want to go for DI.

Those would be some desperate times---glad I didn't have to worry about that
with my Is-2m's last weekend.  :P
