Could someone give me a book/page reference for the Floating Criticals rules? I've been looking through TacOps and can't find it.
Thanks!

I'm kind of curious, in a nutshell, could you explain what a floating critical is?

all units have some areas that the armor doesn't quite connect right, or a worker got lazy. The 'floating crit' is the event where a shot finds this weak point and goes internal on a mech even though the torso armor is still there, unlike the limbs.
The shot take off normal armor damage and does 1 point internally, and requires a roll to see if it does any critical damage.
If you are unlucky, you could lose the mech to a single point of damage, though unlike a vehicle, this is very rare.
Once you see where you hit, ie the roll of 2, then you roll so see or how many criticals you do, up to the dreaded 12, meaning 3 crititcals. This is where you have issue, as you can take out the engine with the 3 crits. 2 for gyro if you hit the center torso one. The side torsos would take out xl engine crits or anything else in the side you hit.
Ammo crits are possible if they are in that area and you roll the location.
The term floating crits is as good of term as anything else including someone saying the 'thru armor' hits.

Gotcha, it expanded the rule for rolling a 2 on the hit location table has a chance to do criticals to the center torso. Appreciate it.
