Okay, looking at the rules for auto fire, i read it as the following.
You add another purple dice, then you upgrade one dice if you want to START with auto fire.
In order to get the extra shots, you need 2 advantage...
So if I have 3 yellow dice and 1 green and 1 blue dice, along with 2 purple and 1 red, the total is 3 hits and 4 advantage, i can then use the 4 advantage to make 2 extra hits...right.
