(Answered) Leg-attacking beasties
« on: 15 March 2017, 15:58:16 »
Per TacOps page 294, certain beast-mounted infantry platoons add damage to their attacks at point blank range, including damage to armored units, owing to attacks from the animals themselves. Several of these units are also capable of anti-mech attacks. When performing a leg attack, does this critter damage stack with the normal 4 damage from that attack?

For example, if a mech is leg-attacked by a kangaroo platoon, is the armor damage 4 or 5 points?

Thanks!
