Heavy Armor

Ignore the first Damaged counter this unit receives each game.

Q: A PAK 40 gets 10 successes on a tank with the Heavy armor SA and defense of 5. Is this tank damaged, destroyed or just disrupted?
A: The first five successes equals one hit which means a face-down disruption marker is placed on it. The sixth success equals a second hit and would normally damage the vehicle, but the Heavy Armor SA causes that hit to be discarded. The tenth success would normally be a third hit, but now becomes the second hit. A face down damaged marker is placed on the vehicle.

Q: Is it at all possible to destroy a unit with the Heavy Armor SA in one attack?
A: No, because the maximum number of hits you could achieve with one attack is 3. The Heavy Armor SA would remove the second hit leaving that unit damaged, not destroyed.
