Hi all,
I have just played a game where my opponent had slingers on the flank of my Romans.
His view was slings reduce armour by 1 grade to medium armour and then the flank attack reduces it again to light armour.
My take is that slings reduce the armour by 1 grade only and from any direction, so my Romans would have medium armour during a sling flank attack.
I've check the rules and faq but nothing specific for either argument.
What's the group opinion?

Re: Slings and flank attack
Slings reduce heavy armour to medium from any direction (page 51 6.6.2 Hit Effect).
From any direction strongly indicates that the flank/rear has no additional impact.

Re: Slings and flank attack
The Captain is correct. Only one armour reduction!
