My new gaming buddy was introducing me to BT Alpha Strike this past weekend.
He's more a classic BTer but wants to play with more toys on the table in the same time frame.
That is, he hasn't really played the game that much.

Any how, I've read that rear attacks gain extra damage on various sites but we are not seeing it on any damage tables or anything.
Is this from a previous edition of alpha strike or perhaps in a paragraph that could be easly overlooked?

Thanks for your help.

Page 17 of the AS rulebook, under "Amount of Damage", 2nd paragraph: "Add 1 point of damage to any successful attack that strikes its target in the rear".

It's also mentioned by itself on page 38, under "Damage to Rear".

It applies to ANYTHING that hits in the rear, be it infantry attacks, artillery strikes, or physical attacks.

Best case, don't get shot in the butt.

That's just good life advice.
