True enough... Every cloud, eh?

I have a question to the squat army book, but I think my question is relevant for all Praetorians.

Yesterday I tried the NetEPIC rules for the first time (a battle report with photos will follow soon). My opponent purchased the Cyclops. After knocking down all shields on the Cyclops I fired again and got a hit on the hull. After scattering, and he failing his save, I rolled for damage on the hull and got a 6. I hit the cyclops on the front, so the it looks like the bridge is hit.
The damage table says:

"Bridge or engine hit: bridge if the front half of the vehicle, engine if the rear. Any points over 6 are bonuses to the second roll."

We couldn't work out how to interpret this. Could someone please let me know what the appropriate action would be if following the NetEPIC Gold rules? Re-roll for damage on the bridge damage table? (this is what we ended up doing). Unfortunately, this just gave a 2.

I tried to look for the White Dwarf magazine that has rules for the Cyclops. But I don't have this issue. If anyone has this issue (no. 170, february 1994), and can share the details about the Cyclops I would be very grateful.

I can see in the Squat NetEPIC army book, that damaging the hull in other praetorians results in a similar wording, and also in the Mars Ordinatus and other Imperial Praetorians.
It might be worth rephrasing this part of the damage tables in a a future vers. of NetEPIC to make it easier to understand what to do in case you roll a 6.

Thanks in advance for your help on this.

Excellent question......I have the same problem
does pen. bonus count for further damages like the 6 on the hull and then for the roll on bridge/reactor?

Squats have the doomanvil company, 2 cyclops + 1 colossus.

Hi!

I'm thinking the newer formation rules will allow for a few variations of this theme.

Primarch

I like the idea of variations. I have one Cyclops and am sure there probably aren't too many people who have two (obviously not yourself Primarch!).

Hi!

The goal of platinum, besides the new units, is to make formation construction more friendly to the realities of collecting epic models in current times.

So baseline formation will be smaller and there will be a greater ability to add additional models to a formation in ways net epic gold does not allow.
