The question is, if you are Assaulting an Immobilized Walker at its rear side, exactly which Armor Facing do you use? :confused:
The confusion comes from the following:
pg. 73 "In close combat, walkers fight like infantry models. However, any hits scored against them must roll for Armor Penetration against its Front Armor. This is because the walker is not a static target like other vehicles and rampages through the melee, turning to face its enemies."
pg. 73 "Immobilized and/or Stunned walkers fight in close combat, with one less attack than usual, but otherwise attack normally no matter how many Immobilized and Stunned results they suffered."
pg. 63 "Armor Penetration is worked out in the same way as for Shooting. In Close Combat, however, all hits are resolved against the vehicle's Rear Armor, to represent the chance of attacking a weak spot."
pg. 61 "Damaged Immobilized: An Immobilized vehicle may not turn in place but its main turret may continue to rotate to select targets."
So the question is, when attacking an Immobilized Walker in CC, do I go against its Front Armor, or Rear Armor? I understand its a Vehicle that attacks like Infantry, however if its Infantry-like then I understand the Front Armor rule stated in pg. 73. If it is Vehicle like, and its Immobilized, then it can't turn and should be able to be hit in its Rear Armor.
Any help in this is greatly appreciated.
