I was thinking (and no, I haven't had a chance to playtest it yet), but in order to make the Kamikaze attack a little more enticing I think we should bump it up to a 12d attack instead of just the 10d. It makes it more enticing to try to use it against a BB to either finish it off or damage it to remove an ER attack, while a 10d attack you probably (I wouldn't) even think about the sacrifice. I alo wouldn't change the pricing at all.

I'll playtest both and return what I find out.
I don't think a single kamikaze ever took out a battleship. At 10 dice it can give a BB one point of hull damage and possibly vital an aircraft carrier and most cruisers. That feels about right to me. Maybe 11?

If you change the 10, the SA title now has to change ;; If you change the number in the future again a new title.
10 is fine; a single Kamikaze did not have the mass to destroy Capital Ships and never sank anything large than a CVE [Combustible Vulnerable Expendable]
something like 4000 Kamikaze sank 50 ships; 95% DD or smaller.
I guess its something i over looked is the ranged torpedo attack 2 die??
