Well that's it! I give up on this one. I have absolutely no inkling
of any vague, possible, remotely theorectical notion of how this rule
is supposed to work! Every time I settle on an answer, some busy
body throws out some ugly fact to spoil my neatly ordered theory ;)
Until I see a Q&A on this one, I will adamately refuse to shoot a
SLD at a damaged war engine. Another victory for avoidance learning.
