If you want i can translate and explain my rule which is much more rich than
the one used in PP original.
It's based on a OCV from tool used to "attack" the object and a DCV from the
object (computed by combining matter and thickness).

The first rule i gathe ris one phase of action.
So if 3 use a ram on a door they can try at once to break it.  If not then
try again later.
The second is usualy one man pounding no a door with a sword to break the
wood.
