Can someone explain how it is possible for a 13 strength 88 to kill 9 and suppress 5 of an enemy fort?

I have a screenshot but haven't uploaded it anywhere but the stats are:

Unsuppressed Strength 13
Miss: 22%, Suppress: 10%, Kill 68%
9 Killed 5 Suppressed

This is the prediction obviously not the fact. The fact is often stranger still.

For example

Dice Rolls: 70 81 45 73 36 41 88 94 90 27 85 42 26
11 killed 4 suppressed

Each shot is rolled against kill and suppress chances, so it's possible for a single shot to achieve both.

So working with the above figures

1-22 = miss
23 - 32 = suppress
33-100 = kill

Now if something can give a kill AND a suppress I would assume its at the same percentage at the top of the kill scale.

So with 10 % suppress can we assume the top 10% of the 68% is K&S, therefore we are left with:

1-22 = miss
23 - 32 = suppress
33-93 = kill
94-100 = kill and suppress

But this would mean from the rolls listed 11 kills and 3 suppressions so obviously incorrect.

The alternative would be the suppress % at the top of the kill % giving:

1-22 = miss
23 - 32 = suppress
33-90 = kill
91-100 = kill and suppress

Unfortunately this also doesn't work with the rolls listed.

Does anyone know the actual calculation?

You assumed incorrectly.

Rolling 100 does not mean kill and suppress.

Think of it as two sets of dice being rolled.
