Combat Results and Hit Location

A vehicle suffers damage like any
other artifact. Certain hit locations
have special damage effects – see the
Vehicle Hit Location Table (p. 554) for
details.
There are usually dire consequences when a
vehicle’s operator is taken out of action.
Hit locations for a given vehicle
appear in the Locations column on the
relevant vehicle table, or in the vehi-
cle’s text description. Assume that
attacks are aimed at the vehicle’s body
(equivalent to the torso on a living
being) unless the attacker specifically
stated that he was targeting another
location. Alternatively, roll randomly
for hit location. In all cases, only
exposed locations can be hit; e.g., if a
tank is behind a hill and only its turret
is visible, the turret is the only valid
target.
