"Fistful of Lead Bigger Battles: Armor Rolls???" Topic

I'm trying to get a game of Fistful of Lead: Bigger Battles going but am stymied by the lack of rules for ther Armor Rolls referred to in pages 30-35. Especially page 33 talks about how this is done before rolling for vehicle damages. It's mentioned twice in examples of play. But there is NO chart or table saying what these rolls are or how they are conducted. Can anyone help me out here? I've written to the publisher about this but don't know if I'll get an answer. It's like text was dropped from the rules or something.

I need to get a Rolls-Royce armoured car on the tabletop for a game in a few days and haven't a clue how to resolve this!

If I remember correctly (as I have most of the titles in the series), it's effectively a save roll after the to wound roll.
So, if your armor save is 8+ and your wound roll was "1 wound", a save would then reduce the 1 hit to a shock.
If the weapon was AP(1), the save is either (following the example above) now 9+ or you don't get one at all.

Armor saves in the FFL series are cascading: a save reduces the wound roll effect by one step while AP decreases the chance of a save by one step. It's always AFTER the wound roll, not before it.

Yep, that's right.
