Jut to clarify: a talent with a body stat of 10 is described as able to breach armor with his fists, so does that mean it acts as penetration? Would he be able to injure another talent who had the Heavy Armor talent?
Thanks in advance! I'm running my second Anzio session tonight and my Black Devils Brigade players are taking the town of Sessano, then defending against a huge Panzer assault! Hoo-rah!

In this case, we're looking at more description than proscription.
Realize that a character with Body 10 is going to routinely roll very
Wide, and if they have Hard and Wiggle die (which any good talent with
a maxed out stat should have) they're going to garuantee wide sets.
When a wide set meets armour, sure, it gets knocked down, but how
often does a pool of 10 dice fail to damage someone behind HAR 2 or 3?
Because a body character does damage, and often, where others would
fail, it is described as doing so, not said to do so better than a
counterpart.
Similar example - an explosive is described by how well it blows
through a concrete wall. This does not mean it is specifically geared
towards blowing up concrete or destroying walls, but is given this
description because everyone knows how hard a concrete wall is.
That, however, in no way prevents a Talent from gaining Penetration on
their fists smoehow - perhaps a technique of winding up a
suiperflexible limb to provide some torque on the shot, or an aura
that weakens metal in contact with him...
