ELECTROMAGNETIC (E/M) AMMUNITION

ROLL

After a successful attack using E/M Ammunition, the target must make two Saving Rolls per hit suffered, using half his BTS value (BTS/2 x 2).

EFFECTS

E/M Ammunition reduces the BTS value of its target to half of its original value, rounding up.
A failed Saving Roll against E/M Ammunition causes the target to enter Isolated State, placing an Isolated Token next to it, preventing it from receiving Orders from the Order Pool.
If, at the start of his following Active Turns, the Trooper is still Isolated, then he is considered to be Irregular and does not add his Order to that Turns Order Pool.
If the target fails a Saving Roll and is Heavy Infantry (HI), a TAG, a Remote (REM), or a Vehicle (VH), then it also enters Immobilized-B State. Place an Immobilized-B Token (IMM-B) next to it in addition to the Isolated Token.
A Trooper who receives a hit from E/M Ammunition and fails the Saving Roll must make the usual Guts Roll, if applicable.
- The exceptions to this are HIs, TAGs, Remotes, and Vehicles that, having failed the Saving Roll, are now Immobilized-B and cannot make Guts Rolls. Also, Troopers possessing the Courage Special Skill, or an equivalent, can ignore this rule.
Critical hits with E/M Ammunition cause the target to make an additional Saving Roll, applying their halved BTS value.

-q = Q: How does Bioimmunity interact with Ammunition and Traits that reduce the Saving Roll Attribute, for example AP or E/M Ammunition, or ARM=0? |
-a = A: AP Ammunition is tied to the Saving Roll Attribute listed in a weapon’s profile. If Bioimmunity is used to make the Saving Roll against a different Attribute, that Attribute will not be halved.
-In the same way, if Bioimmunity is used against a hit by E/M Ammunition to make the Saving Rolls against ARM, the ARM value will not be halved.
-The ARM=0 Trait only applies if the Saving Roll is made against the ARM Attribute, and vice-versa for the BTS=0 Trait. |
