Damage Calculation

[tbontob]

Here is the new listing.

I thought I’d try something new. Sometimes questions just fall through the holes in a discussion and are never answered. So, where there is uncertainty, I highlight the uncertainty with a “ç===”, giving the name and date of the reference.

This way, we may be able to clear up issues that just get lost.

I haven’t fixed up the “special” section yet, so please bear with me on that.
