Just thought of a potential problem with armor. I was reading the section in the 2010 rulebook on collisions, and it said trample damage was equal to the difference in the sizes of the attacker and defender. What happens when a size 6 tank runs over an armored size 1 minifig? The five difference in size will cause enough damage to kill the minifig, and no die is rolled for the armor to remove. So is armor ineffective vs. trample damage?
This should be in the Rulebook somewhere:

Think about what happens to a person when a tank rolls over them.

Yeah, a size 6 tank is a pretty big tank. I'm pretty sure the armor just pops at that point.

Armor is mainly meant to make small hand weapons irrelevant. Getting crushed by supertanks should still be considered relevant.

Better yet, the armor compresses the 'fig within and squirts his insides out like toothpaste.

But the armor is completely fine! It's just coated in a fine red paste when the next guy picks it up.

I found an inconsistency between the chapters 5 and H.
Chapter 5 wrote:A cowardly minifig wishing to escape Close Combat can attempt to Withdraw, moving away as part of his regular Movement.
Chapter H wrote:Normally, if a minifig in Close Combat attempts to Withdraw (5.2: Close Combat), he must use his Action to do so

I don't know if this has been posted already, and I'm not going through 43 pages to find out, but, for me at least, chapters ten and eleven go to a 404 page, on all of my browsers (IE 9, google chrome, and safari)
Ask now what I'm doing, even for me :mystery:

EDIT: Mercury, because Ham apparently doesn't have anything useful to say, they're not finished/published yet.

I'm pretty sure the first one - Minifigs used to have to spend an action to withdraw AND get attacked out of it, but now they get to keep their action. They still take the opportunity attack though.

Makes sense to me. That's how it is in D&D.
