	This is one of the several Veteran Factors that control the bonuses given by <tt>[[VeteranAbilities]]</tt> and <tt>[[EliteAbilities]]</tt>. {{tt\|VeteranArmor}} divides received damage by the specified factor for units that benefit from the STRONGER promotional bonus. Contrary to popular belief, these bonuses do ''not'' stack, meaning that a STRONGER elite bonus will '''not''' further increase the armor of a unit with a STRONGER veteran bonus.

	Because {{tt\|VeteranArmor}} is applied as a divisor to damage recieved, it is typically more effectual than if it were simply a multiplier to the unit's <tt>[[Strength]]</tt>. This is because damage is only applied in solid integers; any decimals are simply knocked off.

	'''Example:''' if the unit's {{tt\|Strength}} is 1000, and each hit deals 100 base damage, it would take 16 hits to destroy the unit (assuming {{tt\|VeteranArmor{{Equal}}1.5}}).

	~~The armor bonus is even ''more'' effectual the less base damage each hit the weapon inflicts.~~		* [[Armor Multipliers]]

	'''Example:''' If the unit's {{tt\|Strength}} is again 1000, but each hit now deals only '''10''' base damage, it would take 167 hits to destroy the unit, as opposed to 160 if the armor was applied as a straight multiplier to {{tt\|Strength}}.

''Please read below to understand these figures.''

==¹ Theory vs. Praxis==
The above table would make you believe that, when turned Elite, an Apocalypse has a thousand hitpoints more of max health than as a rookie. That is not the case.
Rules' comments on this issue are clear: <blockquote> "For armor, think of it as max strength being multiplied by the number (in reality, damage is divided by this"</blockquote>
Meaning that, in reality, if a veteran Apo is being fired upon by a <tt>Damage=100</tt> weapon with 100% [[verses]], he does not have 1200 hitpoints and loses 100 with every hit, but in fact still has only 800 hitpoints, but only takes 66.6 damage with every hit.<br>
