If the walker is destroyed, do you still roll for damage results?

As far as I can tell this only makes a difference if 5 or more hits affect the vehicle, but if you rolled for damage and got ammunition detonation then that could damage surrounding units.

So if we destroy a walker with a lot of damage, do we roll for damage results to see if ammunition denotation occurs? So far we haven't, but I was just thinking that perhaps we should be.

I think if there is the possibility you probably should because it has the chance of damaging nearby units. This has yet to be a issue in any of the games I play because I never do that much damage to a vehicle.

We had it last night when heavy laser grenadiers hit my Steel Rain for 8 damage. Never even occurred to me to roll on the damage table, but if we did and got the ammunition detonation it could have had a huge affect on the game (we were playing a small game and all my units were within 12" of the Steel Rain.)

We always roll for damage …. ammo can always take out the surrounding units, friend or foe.

The table actually states very clearly "If a vehicle is damaged but not destroyed . . . "

That being said, I'd say a chance that a destroyed vehicle exploding makes perfect sense to me, and you should feel free to season to local tastes

Ah, thanks for the official ruling, Craig.

And I agree, it makes more logical sense to roll to see if the thing explodes. That said, I can understand them ruling that way, because of the low probability that your roll will actually have any effect.

Craig is correct…

Eh, even a broken clock is right twice a day . . . or was, before you meddling kids went and made everything digital!

Or, if you prefer, even a blind squirrel finds a nut every now and then . . . I believe that is still correct, although I have yet to conduct an exhaustive study . . .
