Changes to dueling heat table:

1 Engine Hit = +5/turn
2 Engine Hits = +10/turn
Walk through fire = +2/hex
Stand in fire = +5/turn

Reason: These are 2.5 second turns. Over the course of a normal BTech turn these create as much heat as they should (x4 normal). Walk through fire is only 1/4 distance because of ground scale.
