What is the cumulative effect of “Die Roll” damage?
Damage that occurs may over several turns or distance (die roll inches) is not cumulative. Take the worst case. For example: • A ship receives two “On Course Die Roll Inches” specials in the same turn. The two hidden die rolls add up to 6 and 16 inches. The ship will need to move a total of 16 inches ahead next turn, assuming it has the speed to do so. • Next turn, assuming the ships speed was 25kts, it would have moved ahead 12.5 inches, leaving another 3.5 inches to move ahead the following turn. Unfortunately the ship receives another “On Course Die Roll Inches” special, but this time it rolls a 3 for distance. It will need to move ahead 3.5 inches ahead (from the previous turns damage) before being able to maneuver freely.
