I had an armor bonus of +2 and I rolled a 1 in combat. Is this a bug or am I not understanding how the bonus works?

Deep Breakfast,

no, it's not a bug - if you look at the CRT information screen you will notice that there is an extension for +1 and +2 armour bonuses, eg a "7" and "8" dice roll.

When the combat screen is displayed, the dice roll range is automatically "shifted" up one or two results (and a +1 or +2 shown next to the CRT display).

so in your situation, if you had a +2, your dice roll was shown as rolled, but the actual results used were effectively using the 3-8 dice roll number range on the CRT information screen for that terrain type, so your "1" was actually a "3" result after modification.

Make sense? Easy concept and I don't think I've described it very well :-)

Let me see if I understand this.

The table itself shifts up with the armor bonus so that the worst result shown in a combat with a +2 would be a 3 result on the normal table.

Do I have that right?

yes that's right, much more succinct way of putting it :-)

Yep. the way to think about it is to think of how it would work if you were playing this as a board game - you would still use the same die, and so you would still roll a 1-6, then apply the bonus when looking up the results on the CRT.

It is a very cool concept but perhaps the crt would be easier to understand if it showed all 8 results with the armour bonus interacting alongside to show which 6 results were being used?

2 cents.
