Could someone explain the reason Skilled missile versus Superior troops gives the "S" = wounds bonus.
I don't question that Skiiled should get some form of bonus but why against only Superior?
Effectively if you take better quality troops they are more vulnerable than poor/average troops. Why?
There is no explanation in the rule book
Many thanks
Hi,
It seems you overlooked in the rules :
Skilled do have a bonus for shooting at 'average' (and poor) troops : a colour upgrade.
Against Superior they only get a 'reduced' bonus : the wounds bonus.
Hope this clarifies :)
See the Die Colour For Shooting table on page 159 of the rules.
Skilled shooters get a Colour Upgrade against poor or average troops - so if starting on White they go up to Green. The Skill vs. Quality line.
The S = Wound is a "partial upgrade" for when they shoot at Superior targets instead of a full colour upgrade.
No benefit shooting at Exceptional troops though :P
Ah, understand now! Many thanks.
