Now I am confused even more - the death ray IIRC (ie deathstrike missle)
hits on a 2+ and ignores shields. Hence I rolled D3=3 hits and all three
dice were two or more so three hits. Really wasnt much debate on the three
criticals - but the arguement was since they ignore the power fields they
dont damage them as well. Actually the thing didnt brew up & it survived
the battle :)
