Bombardment

This unit's attacks ignore cover. This unit can't attack Aircraft.

Q: The German Wespe, US M4A3 (105) Sherman, US M7 105mm Priest and the Soviet SU-152 have the Bombardment special ability, which allows them to ignore cover. What happens if any of these tanks attacks a unit with the superior camouflage special ability? Could this unit be bombarded at medium and long ranges?
A: Bombardment attacks ignore cover, but superior camouflage prevents the attack from happening in the first place. (Note: There are eight other AAM units that have both the Bombardment and
Blast special abilities. Those units could target the unit in the above example if there was another unit in the same hex. See the Blast SA for more details.)

Q: Can units with the Bombardment SA use it to attack Aircraft?
A: No. According to the 11/12/09 clarification, both of these units' Bombardment SA should include "This unit can't attack Aircraft."

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.
