DSII Rules Questions

Hi All,

Since I've been corrected so much recently (for which I think those who
have done so!), I've started re-reading the rules.  I have found two
things that puzzle me and am hoping that someone has either addressed them
in the past, or will at least keep them in mind if/when DSIII comes
along.

Page 36: Infantry Anti-Vehcile Rockets (IAVRs):

... Damage validity is as shown on the Weapons Damage Table, ie: if the target
has REACTIVE ARMOUR, validity is RED only; if it has (active) APFCs, YELLOW
chits only; if the target has neither (just normal armour), RED and YELLOW
chits are valid.

So, what happens if a vehicle has reactive armor AND active APFCs? My guess
would be that since RED and YELLOW is reduced by one validity set, depending
on which system the target has, if it has both, then both are rendered
invalid.

Page 37: Types of Artillery Batteries:

...

RAM (Rocket Assisted Munition) MORTARS:... May be mounted on vehicles,
towed, or even man-packed.  RAM Mortars are classed as Light Artillery.

Ok... so why isn't there an option for RAM infantry teams? I like mortar
infantry.:)

?

Nope. According to Mike Elliot's Q&A's (which I
believe are/were authoritative) on Andy Cowell's page
http://www.cowell.org/~andy/min/ds2/qna.html

"Q: How do you work IAVRs firing at a vehicle with APFC & Reactive armor?
Reactive armor allows only Red chits & APFC allows only Yellow. A: From Mike
Elliot: The APFCs take precedence, so onky Yellow chits count. (i.e you don't
get any bonus for having Reactive Armour as well). "

There are all sorts of unofficial HR's for them out there, check the archives,
do a google search.
