Question to put into the mix. If the spell Mass Protection (or just Protection) is used, does it simply add to the defense rating? Does it then get ignored by armor piercing weapons? Or does it provide a bit of protection?

It provides "Barkskin" to all friendly units on the battlefield (page 85 of the manual). That means units get protection of 10 if they have less than protection 10, or they get +1 additional protection if they are already at protection of 10 or higher.

AP weapons would cut that protection of 10 (or more) in half. Remember, there are "armor-piercing" (halved protection) and "armor-negating" (zeroed protection) weapons. Do not confuse which is which.
