Ok Rules reads as follows: Page 79; Second Bullet under sheild Generators.

- A Roll of 4 or 5 Cancels 1 hit, a roll of 6 cancels 2 hits and you roll again for each 6 Rolled, although a roll of 4 has no effect against Rockets, Torpedos or Mines.

So the question is. When attempting to block Rockets, torpedos or Mines with the First 2d6 are they stopped on a 4,5,6, or just a 5 & 6?

I think that it's supposed to be 5's and 6's on the initial 2d6 as well as any additional dice rolled for any 6's.

My friends think that the first 2d6 stops all rockets on 4,5,6 and any aditional dice's rolled for any 6's only stop them on 5's and 6's.

Rockets, torps and mines would be stopped on any roll of 5+.

5+ both times as I understand it.

Agreed. If you look at the rule book update PDFs, the way Guardian Generators are explained lays things out more clearly:

• Against Gunnery Attacks, AA and CC, a roll of 4 or 5 results in a success
which cancels one hit against this model.
• Against Rockets and Torpedoes, a roll of 5 results in a success which
cancels one hit against this model.
• A roll of 6 always results in a success which cancels two hits against this
model.

Since a Guardian Generator provides Shield dice, this would be the same way shields are supposed to work.

Yeah, that's about what i was thinking too. Thank you for your posts everyone! :-)
