Hello friends,
During a scrap last night my opponent and I struck across a conundrum which I don't seem to be able to find an answer for. A brief description of said events is as follows:
A locked-on Necron scythe class cruiser opens fire on an Imperial gothic class cruiser. Only the particle whips were in range and neither ship had suffered any previous damage (though not through lack of trying - blasted Necron 2+ brace saves
![Shocked :o](http://www.specialist-arms.com/forum/Smileys/default/shocked.gif)
). Prior to hit rolls being made, the gothic cruiser braces.
The Necron player produces the following rolls
on the first attempt, lucky sod 4, 5, 6, 6.
As I understand it, the two '6' rolls punch through the shields automatically and must be braced against. The other two rolls both knock down a shield and each place a blast marker. As a result, the net effect of this round of shooting is to knock down both shields and trigger two brace saves (of which one was passed).
My query is this: did we resolve the shooting correctly? It seems to me that rolling two 6's produced no extra benefit for the Necron player in this instance; four 4's would have been equally as effective
![Huh ???](http://www.specialist-arms.com/forum/Smileys/default/huh.gif)
Many thanks
