The Carro Armato

[Toad22484]

I was wondering as it says in the faq, that the Armato does have to roll when it gets a face down damage counter, but that does not make sense. If a tank is not considered "damaged" until the counter turns face up, why would the armato have to roll before its even damaged?

The designers wanted the flammability effect to happen immediately. Thus you either fire first or take the chance of not being able to fire at all. Similiar to the Flamethrower 3 sixes cause immediate destruction, even if it was only defensive fire.
