Let's forget about the Imperator for a moment, and examine the good ol'
Capitol Imperalis. Area affect weapons, and weapons with cover mods.
would also affect these troops.
Troops in forts are so well protected that only the center of the blast has
a chance of hitting and killing the troops...

Hi All!
This debate has been interesting, a bit heated, but interesting.
I'd like to discuss a couple issues.
1) quester has a valid question. How do we treat units firing out from
defensive positions, gunports and such?
remember that gun ports only have to be big enough for the gun to fit out of
like a brinks armored car...

How about all manner of fortifications? Same thing. If we apply one
rule to one unit, we must do the same for all.
My own opinion is that troops that can fire out, must also be able to be
fired at. Direct fire, Explosives, you name it, I think the building
mod. of -2 should apply.
you can just hit the troops location, beat its armor,and kill the troops,
thats the way it works now. Theres no undue complations and it works with
all weapons...
Sure, the fastest route to destroying troops in a Capitol Imperialis is
to just blow the damm thing up. But, you could also target the troops
themselves. A bit of a waste of time, if you ask me, but you could do
it. Yup, its the best way to get to all the troops in question...
2) Hellreich also has a good point. If we give units in fortifications
a 4+ saving throw, we must do the same for the Imperator, Capitol
Imperialis, etc.
Why do units in fortifications get a 4+ saving throw? Isn't the really
good saving throw, and cover modifier enough? It seems to me, that
giving a 4+ save to any infantry, anywhere, is excessive. Especially
when most infantry doesn't even get a save, normally.
becouse its almost imposable to hit troops in armored fortifications wilhout
destroying the fortification at the same time..
3) The Bail Out rule should just apply to normal troop transport
vehicles. Not to Supers and above.
right with this..
What does everyone else think?
Warprat ;)
just think how hard it was to kill troops in WWII pillboxes with any weapon
that did not destroy the box doing it ??????
I still think you need to hit the troops location, beat its armor,and kill
the troops, thats the way it works now. Theres no undue complations and it
works with all weapons...
