For quite some time I have been dissappointed with the Punch and Kick location charts for the BattleTech board game. These tables are my custom tables which use 2d6 (two 6-sided dice) instead of 1d6 that the standard tables use. If you used these charts please let me know what you think of them in action.
Suggested use for these tables is in determining all hits specific to the areas covered, except for Death From Above attacks. I recommend using the original tables for this attack even when using the above tables for all else.

(Recently I have returned to using the original tables, since the probability of hitting the head was too small with this punch table. I will leave these tables as reference for myself and others who may want to use them in the future.)
