Heavy armor question.

I’m an old-school player, so my memory of the revised stats is not as good.  Tigers used to have Superior Armour (with a different game effect) but the new Tigers have what used to be called Hulking Mass?  Remove the first damage counter against this unit (once per game)>  If that’s the one then here’s the answer:

While I don’t agree with it in the 1st case, the ruling last I knew was that it is destroyed in neither case.  The ruling was along the lines of the following:

The hit markers are effectively placed sequentially.  As you place the hit markers, the 1st is a disrupt hit marker, the second is a damage hit marker, and is immediately removed.  A third hit counter (from doubling the rear defense) goes down and because there are two on the unit it is a damage hit marker.

The one with 2 shots is easier.  The first shot of 2 gets reduced to one hit marker, and the 2nd shot does one more hit marker.  Damaged.

I’m not sure I understood Mot’s answer, so I will offer my own.  In both examples, you have scored three hits.  In each case, this results in a damaged Tiger.  That is because, due to the Tiger’s “Heavy Armor” SA, hits are applied as follows:  1st - Disrupted, 2nd - Damaged (but ignore this one), 3rd - Damaged (because this is the first damaged shot that counts).  You need one more hit this turn – or two the next one (to re-disrupt then destroy) – in order to kill the Tiger.

Same answer, just more terse :)

Well, I am a lawyer. :wink:

Im not sure on  the tigers armor but if you score 2 hits with one and 1 hit with the other, aslong as you beat its Superior which i believe it has then you kill it, in the 1st scenario, you need to double its base armor, not its armor with superior so i believe a tiger is a 7/6 SA 2 so yes you would kill it in both scenarios.

I’m pretty sure Tigers no longer have “Superior Armour”, but instead now have “Heavy Armour”
