   - For each 100% scored one enemy figure is killed and removed from play or one enemy character is hit and wounded. If there is any percentage left over roll one D100. If you score under or equal to the amount left over, another enemy figure is killed and removed from play or character wounded. If you score over the remainder you miss.

The elves cross reference their weapon with the orcs armour on their Basic Firing Percentage table and find they have a BFP of 18%. They then check the list of Firing Modifiers and find three which apply: 'Target moved over 10 cm this turn -1', 'Unit firing are huntmasters +3' and, as the orcs are formed up in two ranks, 'Per rank of target +2x2 = +4'. This means the Elves have a MFP of 24% (18 - 1 + 3 + 4 = 24). As ten Elves are firing they multiply 24 by 10 to get a FFP of 240%.

 > As the Elves are firing at medium range their FFP is halved to 120%, so they automatically kill one Orc and have a 20% chance of killing a second one (120% - 100% = 20%). To find out if the 20% chance is successful they roll one D100 and score 23%, which is over 20% and therefore means they miss.
 > If the Elves had been firing at short range, their FFP would have remained at 240% so they would have killed two Orcs automatically and had a 40% chance of killing a third one.
 > If the Elves had been firing at long range, their FFP would have been divided by 3, reducing it to 80%. In this case no Orcs would have been killed automatically and the elves would have had a 80% chance of killing one Orc.
