I just don't seem to be able to find a rule that gets quoted a lot.

Why are all melee attacks from MCs AP2? Where are the rules on that?

I just want to make sure I know these things, and can't seem to find the underlying rule. Getting my well-armored men slaughtered by something's bare hands, or even a Black Mace with AP2, sucks.

It's under the Smash USR. Smash always grants AP2, and allows MCS to perform smash attacks in addition to that.

But without Smash, will a MCs attacks ignore armor/be AP2 like they were in 5th?

Yes, as "Smash" as a rule makes their attacks AP2 all the time

Read the whole rule; the OPTIONAL part which increases S at expense of attacks doesnt alter your AP to 2, it will always be 2 (unless you are AP1)

Egg-sell-ant. Thanks!
