Randomizer The
following chart allows players to randomly locate a damaged beam-pattern
position using a 12 sided die. The left column indicates the original number of
gun positions present on the embattled side of the ship (this includes damaged
and destroyed guns), subdivided according the the pattern upon which those
positions are based. Along the top is shown the relative location on the ship
which the hit will occur based on the 12 sided die rolls in the middle field.
See the example below.

Example: The Japanese cruiser Idzumo has a total of
14 six-inch secondary guns arranged in beam pattern two. This means she has two
guns each, located in sponsons both fore and aft, on both sides of the ship as
well as three more guns on each side amidships, for a total of 14 one-gun
positions. If Idzumo suffers three hits, she will roll three dice on the 7-2
line. Seven for the number of guns on the embattled side, subdivided to the
Pattern Class 2 line. If her captain rolls two "fives" and a "ten" on the dice,
she will suffer hits on two of her amidships guns, and one of her aft sponson
guns. If two "threes" and a "one" were rolled, then only the two guns in the
forward sponson would suffer hits, one of them suffering two hits (it doesn't
matter which one at this point, although players may want to roll for the
specific gun in consideration of future hits and repairs). |
