I lost my very first 'Mech, a Hunchback, immediately after firing my very first shot, when one of the enemy punched in a crit that blew up my
ammo. Two tons of autocannon ammunition makes a big kaboom.
Edit: On the other hand, I once scored a critical hit -- "Heart pierced, instant death" -- right after my character had told
another that "any barbarian" could hack, but true swordsmanship was in the thrust. If the crit table had declared it a beheading, all the coolness of
the moment would've been lost. I guess the dice were listening to me that day ... for once.

Big Brother is watching you. And damn, you are so bloody BORING.
