Find the EMD for your attack and subtract the effective damage required for the object (HP * Toughness).  Then, take the subtracted result and find which EMD values of the matching category that the subtracted result lies between.  The lower EMD value indicates the amount of real damage dealt to the target.

If you have a Demolition bonus, when finding the EMD for your attack, check if the Demolition is equal to or higher than the ''Demolition for First Doubling'' value. If it is, and for every 8 more Demolition beyond that, look in the column one step to the right.

Units and Measurement

Good Enough Numbers

A kilogram is just over 2 pounds.

A meter is a bit more than a yard.

The circumference of a circle is a bit under 6 and a half times its radius.

Measuring Turning Circles

When turning 45 degrees or less, the straight line distance is not much smaller than the actual distance the vehicle or creature would have to travel.

When turning 90 degrees, the distance traveled is basically 50% more than the radius.

Measuring Distances

Generally, waving a measuring tape of about the right distance gets you a pretty good idea of how far something can move or shoot.

Charts

Shooting through Objects


For checking if your character can reasonably be expected to hit an enemy on the other side of something

Calculate the most damage your character could be expected to deal. If you have 2-4 attacks, use the damage for a single crit. If your character has more, or is using sniper a double crit becomes more reasonable. Once you have the most damage, compare the amount of damage required to destroy the object (HP * Toughness) with the Effective Material Damage in the chart below. If the EMD is higher by even a small amount, then it is likely that your character can severely wound if not kill the target.

For checking the results of an attack

Find the EMD for your attack and subtract the effective damage required for the object (HP * Toughness). Then, take the subtracted result and find which EMD values of the matching category that the subtracted result lies between. The lower EMD value indicates the amount of real damage dealt to the target.

If you have a Demolition bonus, when finding the EMD for your attack, check if the Demolition is equal to or higher than the Demolition for First Doubling value. If it is, and for every 8 more Demolition beyond that, look in the column one step to the right.
