An interesting situation occurred the other day. Having chosen to generate 5 steam points at the start of my turn, I promptly failed the boiler test and rolled up result 7 (Dangerous Overpressure) on the mishap table. This requires you to lose D3 wounds and gain the same number of Steam Points. This meant I would have had 7 steam point as a result of the D3 roll. A debate ensued about whether the stank can have more than 5 steam points. The rules say that you can generate between 0-5 at the start of your turn. There is no mention about whether 5 is the maximum number of points it can have and we reasoned that since the tank can both gain and lose points, it was possible to have more than 5 and played as such.

What do people think about this?
