What if I glance a tank and roll 2 on damage table what happes after that, nothing or shaken?

Lowest it can be reduced to is a 1. Shaken

Shaken.

If you look at the Vehicle Damage table on p61, it says "1 or less" = Crew - Shaken.

Absolutely true and very clear in the table.

I can't believe how many people have argued with me that "less than 1 is no result" until I show them the same damage table they've been using for months. I've made some rules mistakes in my time, but it still surprises me how often that one comes up!

On a related note, I think anything over a 6 on the damage chart should add the excess to the radius of the explosion (A natural 6 with a melta weapon or a 6 on an open-topped vehicle, for instance, would be D6+1 for radius). Unnecessarily complicated? Yes. Boomier? Also, yes.

Considering the number of times the green gits have been kind enough to orchestrate blood transfusions on many of my rather unwilling Guardsmen I'm not surprised a little mixing took place!

And D6+2 if it's a melta on an open-topped vehicle
