Hi all,

I am pretty new to the game and last night was the first time my f=
riends and i used super heavy tanks. And we all have different theories on =
how to use the critical and catastrophic damage table. This is my theory:

=
Lets say i was using the Eldar Scorpion Super Heavy Tank which has an armor=
 of 5+ and a damage capacity of 4.

My enemy rolls a 5 which hits my tank,=
 so then he goes on to the critical damage table and rolls 2D6. Say he roll=
s a 4 which is a +1 point to damage. Does that mean i take off 1 point of d=
amage from my tanks damage capacity or is it you get a point for hitting th=
e tank in the first place and you add the +1 point of damage to it, which w=
ould come out to taking 2 points of damge capacity off my tank and make my =
damage capacity total out to 2?? And of course when my tank gets to Damage =
capacity 0, BOOOOMM no more tank.

another question is if you roll any numb=
er from 7-12 from the 2D6 on the critical damage table, you would have to r=
oll a 1D6 from the Critical damage table, lets say my enemy rolls a 4-5 th=
at would mean my tank is destroyed. Right??
 
This may be a stupid question=
, but if any body could clear this up i would really appreciate it.
Oh yeah=
 and if any body could give me any tactics for the Eldar Army I would great=
ly appreciate it.
 
Thanks,
John
