The Low End Combat Result would be 10 (= 5 x 2000 / 1000) and the High End Combat Result would be 50 (= 25 ... |

| When an artillery unit is fired upon by small arms fire, there is a probability that the artillery unit will become Uncrewed. This probability is determined by the Crew Kill Parameter Data Value.

I'd love a picture of a snowman on Cemetery Hill wearing a pair of bermuda shorts, a straw hat, and with a bottle of eggnog in his hand.
