Weight of Shot

No additional chits need to be added to the draw, just maybe for placing on the damage. Additional chits in the draw wouldn't change anything in a burden 1 vs. burden 1 battle.

No, what I meant was do you take (for example) a "4" chit that has been drawn and replace it with a different chit placed on the ship mat to show that the damage effect is reduced?

Bos'n suggests using the drawn chit but 'clocking' the chit on the target slot to indicate its value has changed. Using sloops as an example, Inverted would indicate a value that is reduced by 2, sideways would be reduced by 1. If the chit is 2 or less then it goes to the zero damage area.

Remember that if the chit exceeds the Burden, it fills the box anyway. In the case of a sloop, any hit fills the box.
