Skilled missile versus Superior bonus?

[Nick2729]

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

Ah, understand now! Many thanks.
