Exsplosives

[Mr Evil]

ok i see and seen it mentioned about exsplosins often effecting modles within 2" of the target center point, now this is going to be rare.

so is it intenended to hit things like troops riding tanks and troops in transports ?

and if so do you roll damage dice for the exsplosion effect on transported troops first (and possably supress them) and then roll for damage for infantry carried on transports that exsploded (providing vehicle is destroyed of course) after agaion possable supressing them, maybe evan supressing them a second time ?

if this is the case then troops in vehicles are going to be in dep troublw when hit hit by such weapons evan if they dont destroy the transport, you could effectivly end up transporting corpses !!


have i read this right, and if im wrong please correct me

in any event it kmakes for a good house rule

Weapons fire would start at the outside and work to the center of the model. For a Hilux you'd have exposed infantry, but for the PLA IFV it's armored so the troops would be fine.

Destroyed troop transports have text for damage to units on board at the time.

As for troops on top of non-standard vees like tanks. No idea.
A flat D6 or D6-1 would probably be reasonable in most cases if the vee blew up.

be nice for some confermation on this, other wise the exsplosive 2" area is going to have minimal effect in the game, but if it is how i see it then infantry in a vehicle hit can get hurt inside, obvously its harder to hit the infantry inside a IFV than a toyota, but if you hit a toyoata with a Chally then youd exspect most the passengers to be killed evan if the engine was still running !

Being a Toyota, the engine _would_ be running. . .

can i take it from not being corrected im thinking right on the crew being hurt inside vehicles from some weapons ?

No. In practice, though, it iis rarely an issue.

ok cheers, so a challenger hiting a hilux and only scoring a basic hit would d 1 point of damage but nothing to the guys riding onboard ? i was playing it as all the guys (as they are within 2" of center) are hit by the D6+1 as they dont need to be in line of sight but do get cover bonuses (we like to be nice some times to each other)

i have to say you should try it, makes for some interesting games.

Believe me, riding around in a Hilux is lethal enough

Nice. And even better that I had that same Buick as my first car.
