Does Armour Piercing Stack?

Post by Darkadon »

Let's say I put a BSB in with a unit of RXB and give him the BoM. Are their shots -1 AS or -2 AS? Please don't ask why I would do this; this post is in the rules forum, not tactics.

Thanks.

They get armour piercing rule which gives -1 AS.
giving them armour piercing twice would give them -1AS and -1AS which still is -1AS
in short, it doesn't stack.

Indeed Dalamar is right. As with any other special rule (frenzy, poisoned attacks, etc) the rule has a discrete effect. You can't be double AP or double poison. You either have the special rule or you don't. It does, however, make your handbows armour piercing in a unit of corsairs, making the unit upgrade slightly better than completely worthless. Woo!

Short answer, no. It is a rule, not a stackable statistic.

Agree with the several posts foregoing. There is no support in the rules for stackable AP.
