Okay so I'm having a senior moment here. After reading the 3rd paragraph in the little rule book.

"Ordnance weapons hit with such force that when you roll to penetrate a vehicle's armor with an Ordnance weapon, roll two dice instead of one and pick the highest result!"

Do I interpret this as

1.
I've hit, I roll two dice, instead of one, to determine if I pen, and pick the highest one, then move on to damage results (adding +1/+2 for high AP of the weapon)

or 2.
I've hit, I roll one die to pen, and after penning roll two dice, instead of one, to determine damage (adding +1/+2 for high AP of the weapon)

I'm thinking 1, but I can't think straight right now either. What's worse I just got back from BAO and I know I didn't do either of these with my Vindi this weekend!

Help gramps out!

I think this says it all:

Thanks for highlighting what I'm having a problem interpreting. 1 or 2 please. That's all I'm looking for.

How can you be confused?
One of them is a roll to penetrate.
The other is a roll for damage result.

Which does the rule say?

I can see the confusion, I don't think it's the right way to read it but you can kind of interpret it as.

"when you roll and manage to penetrate a target, proceed to roll 2 dice instead of 1 afterwards"

Having said that I very much agree with Rigeld, the correct reading is that it is telling you to roll 2 dice during the roll to penetrate.

So 1

Thanks very much for the help all. 1 it is.
