Title: Crossbow and shieldcover
Post by: badhabum on April 13, 2026, 09:21:10 PM
Shield covers upgrades your armour level so from frotected to FARM

So it is specidifed that it would not affect ART

But what about firearms or PB/Xbow at or less than 1 BW shooting as if they shoot at FARM INF , the FARM is ignored ?

So it seems logical that shield cover is ignored by fireweapons and the PB/Xbow at short range when the protection is raised to FARM

Is it correct ?

If your armour level is FArm then unless an exception is specified then the rules applying to FArm will apply.

I will rephrase to be sure 100%

Shieldcover upgrades the armour level

If protected upgraded to FARM level, FARM rules apply when shooting so FARM is not efficient vs ART/Fireweapons/ PB&Xbow at or less 1 MU

Indeed. The rule (p126) even says that shield cover has no benefit against artillery.

Thank you

Part of the discussion was : the rule stipulates the ART but nothing is said about firearms, PB etc....
