Query - came up in my game today (of the heretical mutant hybrid of BattleTech crossed with Maneouvre Group that I play).

Maximum Tech says vehicles are destroyed when any location except the turret has the internal Struture destroyed.

So, what happens if you deal damage enough to destroy the turret? Does the damage transfer through to the Front section? I made the assumption that it did (it was the last turn of the game and it put the killing blow to my own forces!), but it didn't actually say that.

Anyone know the answer? Or if there was anything said in the most recent rules? (I nominally use bits of those, but as I have them in PDF and am too mean to print them, I just use th Master Rules and Max tech down the club most of the time.) I don't recall if there was a max tech equivilent for them (if there was, I don't have it).

I believe the current ruleset says that a vehicle is destroyed when the turret internal structure is destroyed.

BMR only says a vehicle is destroyed when the internal structure of any location is destroyed, not mentioning the turret, but Maximum Tech (on page 39 of my PDF) clarifies (or changes?) it to exclude the turret or rotor:

VEHICLE DESTRUCTION
A vehicle is destroyed if any location except a turret or rotor
loses all of its internal structure. If a turret or rotor is destroyed,
damage from additional hits to the turret or rotor location transfer
to the side hit.

Of course, critical hits can destroy one as well, but that's not what the question was.

Ta. You know, I read that paragraph about three times, and yet that last sentence still obvously didn't register! Duh. Must have not seen that for looking (it was coming to packing up time)! I assume when it means "side hit" it must logically follow it means the facing the attack would have hit anyway; so I was right, then, after all. Thanks again.
