The 7.62 example has this little clause in it: "(always take the worst case)." In Tank Dino's OP, both Xs would be applied, because the second X is "the worst case."
Enjoy...
The example you pulled that from uses the example of taking an M2 instead of an M1, because a different combat result was an X. Its not directly applicable to the example in this thread of which there was disagreement on how to handle it. The example text would still read "always take the worst (applicable) case", and the nature of what an applicable case is what we spent days? weeks? whatever keyboard mashing over.
I'm not getting back into that fight again, by my opinion has not changed on which result is applicable. Afterall, reading that line in the example text without inserting "applicable" would result in no need for split column resolution at all, as the highest net modifier would always be worse, and thus the CRT result.
I'm crawling back in my hole now.
