look at table 9.55 WHEEL DAMAGE, which is where the  amount of damage done
to a wheel comes from.
The roll you make is for the chart lookup, NOT the points of damage.

4+2 = 6 +3 for your heavy chariot = 9
The third row (8-9) says 3 points, as Kevin said.

To answer your previous request:

1. Roll to see if attack succeeds (or if defender can Evade or Brake)
    2D6+CDM vs. 2D6+CDM  (skipped in this case at defender option)

2. Roll on table 9.54 Damage to Car table to see who (if anyone) gets
damaged.
	3D6+ A's CDM - D's CDM

3. For each party who receives damage (A,  D, or both), roll on 9.55 WHEEL
DAMAGE table
	2d6+Car mod (+3 for heavy, -3 for Light)
	Cross ref number rolled to the number of points listed.


Got it?
