To the best of my knowlege it works like this. You have a detachment
that has a total of say 10fp and 2 SHW. Your "firepower" for firefights
and Blast marker effects is 12, the 10 normal ones, plus the 2 SHW.
You eat 2 blastmarkers. You remove 2 point from that 12, which 2 is
up to you. It could be the 2 SHW, it could be 2 "normal" fp, it could
be one of each.

Clear as mud right?
