armor again

Soft Target

"In the supplements (like the Afghan one) then Combat Body Armour (flak jacket) - YES is a Soft Target
EBA - Enhanced Body Armour (like the ceramic plate Osprey Brit armour) - NO is not a Soft Target"

this one is from a previous post, now I ask:

1) I think AT weapns always ignore any armor, but armor piercing weapons?

2) Blades H-t-H attacks if the character is on the ground/fallen/incapacitated ignore Body Armor...will be the same with EBA?

thanks

1/ AT weapons used as HE would not ignore it - the armour helps protect from the blast. AT shells from tanks and AP rounds from Anti-tank rifles etc fired at an infantry target would ignore if it hit, I'd give a -3 for it being a small target- not sure why you'd do it though.
2/ FL - body armour is never ignored unless incapacitated (ie out of action) being 'shaken' still lets the character count the armour even from HTH attacks. EBA is not ignored.

EBA and hard cover in Hearts and Minds means you +2 to the losing roll of the wearer for combat resolution.

I'm waiting for Modern supplement, but I don't think to play in contemporary settings, I prefer sci-fi and WWII (modern is "too real" and little disturb me), I'm waiting for new modern weapons and gear perfect for the sci-fi setting we are using.

I hope only to read and try this one before August holidays
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
