Damage to vehicles

[Troll66]

I appreciate the design philosphy that multiple hits is an abstract way of giving vehicles more resilience against destruction but has anyone come up with a sysyemwhereby vehicles take damage aside from supertructure hits? So tank could take damage to tracks or gun or something like that....

Greetings,

OK, I'm having problems determining just how many hits a vehicle can take. In fact, I'm having problems with the whole hits thing. Can someone please enlighten me?
Thanks,

Can you be more specific?
What exactly is your problem? And please quote the pages you have difficulties with!

Agis,

Certainly, my specific question would be what factor determines how many hits a vehicle/figure can take. My guess would be size but I'm not sure.
BTW, how's life in Berlin these days? I was stationed in West Berlin in 1968. It was an interesting time in a fabulous city.

Thanks for your time.

To answer your question: Please read Page 27 Hits/X. The Hit trait is not corresponding to the size. It also takes into action the mass of the vehicle. A huge unarmoured truck can not absorb as much hits as a German Tiger II... 8)

Life in Berlin is good these days, after the fall of the wall the city got even more vibrant and interesting!

Agis,

Thank you very much! I understand it now. This is a great system. I'm already looking to use it for WWI.
BTW, I hope to return to Berlin one day for a visit. I cheered when the Wall came down.

Best Wishes,
Frank

You are welcome!
WWI: Funny thing is some friends here in Berlin are starting a Back of Beyond campaign soon, I have just finished the British and Chinese Warlord lists, including the odd WWI/ Interwar tank...
Last Wednesday we had the first test game, Cavalry vs Armoured car, Chinese Dare to Die troops etc.
