\begin{order*}{To derive to-hit value from AC and THAC0}
\item The basic to-hit is $H = \textrm{THAC0} - \textrm{AC}$. \\
\item If $H < 2$, add up to 4. \\
\item If $H > 20$, subtract up to 4. \\
\item If $H > 30$ still, subtract up to 4 again; etc. \\
\item Conversely, if $H < -10$, add up to 4, etc. \\
\item If $H$ is negative, use $2$ and add $-H$ bonus to damage. \\

\item Repairs: five crewmen required; 1\,hp per turn up to half damage, fails
  after 5d6 days. \\
