Here's how it works, as per the basic "damage" rules and page 139 of Iron 
Oasis.

With Armor against MD, Armor does _not_ reduce the number of wounds 
directly.  Rather it reduces the type of damage die rolled, as armor 
normally does against attacks.

So if you're taking 4d10 from a Massive Damage attack, and are wearing Armor 
3, you reduce the 4d10 by three "steps" (to...4d4) and then the damage is 
figured normally.  Roll, total, divide by target's Size, figure # of wounds, 
target spends chips to negate if desired, then roll 1d6 Wind for each Wound.

Hope that helps.
