Let's say I get a major hit from a missile launcher on a tracked vehicle with
armour level 4.
The impact (D12x2) fails to penetrate the armour (D12x4), but the suspension
is hit. What is the impact vs. armour test?
a) D12x2 vs. D10 b) D12x2 vs. D10x4 c) D12 vs. D10
??
Last night's match up had heavy weapons really punishing vehicles strictly by
immobilising them and causing the crew to panic and bail out. Oddly, enough
the crew of one tank got in position, in cover, and suppressed some
overconfident power armour troops advancing toward the wrecked tank. They were
one of the only pleasant surprises for the defenders.

Another triumph for SGII! if you read accounts of infantry actions against
Panthers and Tigers in Western Europe during WWII, the grunts with bazooka's
and PIAT's did that a lot. It was much more common to immobilize a tank than
to knock it out completely. The crew could then either sit there and wait for
Tank Destroyers, more rockets, or the ever present American artillery to
finally blow them up, or they could decide to be elsewhere.

See SGII p.39 section "NON-PENETRATING HITS ON VEHICLES".
Its not an impact vs. armour test, its a suspension type vs. impact test.
Hope that helps,
Mike Elliott, GZG
