No. But, if they are 0 for all relevant 'hit-by' entries, then they probably should be immune, but currently are not. > Would I be able to include, for example, > 'Tungsten Ammo' in a panzer game, along with "Regular > AP" and "HE" and set it so that different tanks and > infantry are invulnerable unless it has the right > ammo?

However, I agree that the name is somewhat misleading, and I once inferred a different use for it, before making it realize its intended purpose (according to Hans), and adding some notes to the documentation. I still find it interesting that it allows negative values down to TABLO rather than -1 (and I think it was this way prior to me touching it last year). Eric
