force recon and transport

[tiepilot1138]

The entry for Force Recon states that you can mount them in either a HMMWV or a Shadow. Problem is that both vehicles have a capacity of 5, and Recon has 6 guys...

Am I supposed to take 2 vehicles to transport recon? It does specifically say "the squad may be mounted on board a HMMWV"... implying that you only need 1. The spare guy holds on to the roof?

I asked a similar question rgarding Jaegers and Pumas/Marders in Rulemasters, no response yet...

I would assume that the capacity number is "comfortably fit" and that you can mount an extra guy in it. I wouldn't go so far as making them clown cars though (8 guys in a vehicle for 5.)

From real world experience, you can get 5 and more people inside one. Of course, there are/have been over 17 variants on the basic chassis.

I would ignore the bit about a cap of 5 and "drive on".

It's a bit different for the German APCs though - you're talking about 3 or 4 people left outside!

Those guys are considered to be "Reactive Armor".

The reaction involving the phrase "Mein Gott!" or somesuch?

Ewww.....

Hey, anything that hits with that level of force is just going to disintegrate most of the "armour", it wouldn't be that gross

At least the cleanup would be minimal then.
