Occasionally I would wish the opponent's SAN had triggered.

(Acronym overload: SAN is the Sniper Activation Number in Advanced

density maps and high SANs, especially when that carefully sited
mortar triggers the SAN and the sniper hits the mortar crew).

Roll SAN on your dice, and something dreadful may happen to your

the SAN and the sniper hits the firmware update.

Yeah, that maps across pretty well.
