First the 1 then 6 dosn't have to be FoW. I therefore ignored it in my
calculations. You didn't, hence my nice round numbers and your, well,
not round numbers.

Second: (back to culture again, but not trailers) in my part of the
world (1/78 + 1/468) is written as [1/66.85] (to 2 places) not [66,85],
which, to be honest, confused me. I thought you had come up with a much
larger number but dropped a digit while typing. It would have been
worse if you had done it to 3 places.

Third: if you CHOOSE the FoW, that changes the odds to a simple 1:13

Forth: The only reason why I knew about that particuler option is that I
had drawn an '8'. This resulted in a small cult of speed (about 300
points), fighting off a HUGH detachment of Space Marines, with some
thing like 11 LR and a dozen of so attack bikes.
