I don't know. Although there are the same number of 0s as the current
system, the average goes down a lot. The official rules give an average
of 2.5 removed per turn. My initial proposal gives 2.52777777,
2.3611111 when double 6s are 0. When all doubles are 0, the average is
1.9444444. I don't know whether an average of half a blast marker makes
a difference or not.

I think I believe this. I was wondering if most of the rule about
infantry following tanks could be put into "vehicles block LOS", but it
probably adds more complication than its worth.
