The inner workings of a Steam Tank are extremely experimental, temperamental and dangerous, and the crew must constantly monitor the gurgling and hissing from boiler and pipes, and heed the clouds of vapour that accumulate around them. A moment of inattention can lead to irreparable damage and, in extreme cases, boiled crew!

If a natural 1 is rolled on either of the dice when the Steam Tank makes a Steam Power roll or a Charge roll, the pressure has reached dangerous levels and, if not quickly released, will cause irreparable damage. Choose one of the following:
Bang! The crew ignores the building pressure which, inevitably, finds its own release. The Steam Tank loses a single Wound.
Phweee! Amidst billowing clouds of steam and with an ear splitting whistle, the pressure is released, rendering the Steam Tank immobile. The Steam Tank halts immediately and cannot move again for the remainder of this turn.
However, if a natural 1 is rolled on both of the dice, the pressure is too great to be released safely. The Steam Tank loses a single Wound and halts immediately. It cannot move again for the remainder of this turn.
