In chess, if the piece is attacked, the adjudication is simple: it is removed from the board, in essence destroyed. It does not matter what the two pieces are, a lowly pawn can attack and destroy an opponent’s pawn or its queen. In ground combat, systems can be removed from the battlefield if destroyed, but systems can also be damaged (or wounded for human “systems”). A damaged system may still be able to move and/or fire, so the amount of damage and remaining functionality of the system must be determined. Damage can be cumulative, so a damaged system can be subsequently destroyed if attacked again, depending on the attacking system and the damage that it can deliver. Damaged systems can also be repaired and returned to the battlefield depending upon the amount of damage sustained and the availability of resources needed to repair the system.
