Example: Monty has brought up 8 - 25 pdrs to wake up Rommel at his headquarters in North Africa. Within the targeted area, are two tanks (AFV's), a truck (soft vehicle), an AT gun and 2 squads of infantry. As they are in the desert, they are basically all in the open. The first rounds fired determine where the first rounds land - see adjustment table above.

With a single ten sided die, the firer rolls a "3", which is is 3 inches to the left of the center of the target. As the intended target(s) are still within the 12 inch radius (off-board), no adjustment is necessary. The ROF factor is "8" - The first roll (with two percentile dice) on tank #1 is a "34." A miss. The second roll on tank #2 is an "03". A HIT! The third roll is on truck #1 is "17" exactly what is needed for a hit. The forth roll on the AT gun is a "29" a miss. The fifth roll, squad #1 is a "21". The last roll on infantry #2, is a "98" - they did not even hear the explosion.

Each unit that was hit is then subjected to a second roll to determine damage, if any. For the infantry, 25 pdrs have an HE firepower of "5". Determine their fate on the Defense/Firepower table - their inherent defense is "2". Consult the unit tables for the truck and the AT Gun then check the The tank is considered hit by "plummeting " fire. Roll one die. Even - the tank is immobilized. If Odd, it is considered a deck hit. A 25 pdr (HE) can penetrate 17mm. If the tank's deck is 17mm or less, scratch one tank. A bit of a bother, I know. But artillery (rockets) can be very effective, especially in the V-2 game, and is worth the time it takes to resolve it.
