(WaW) German Crew Served Gun Errata?

Agree. Specifically, is a gun tied to one model and only one model, or do you have to kill off all the crew to silence the gun.

My personal opinion is having the rely on figure deployment/position to protect the gunner is "gamey" and less intuitive than just allowing the crew (and only the Crew, allowing just anybody to man the gun makes them too good) to re-man a "Crew Weapon" with an action/reaction or treating crew as Hits (i.e. "the gun takes 3 hits to take it out"). It's clear that this was Agis's original intent (and the superior option) - but Mongoose needs to clarify how the version that went to press is intended to play out on the table.
 
I house-rule that weapons with the Crew trait require all the crewmen to be in contact with the weapon's base (the bases have to be reasonable sized, no 6" ones :) ). Mainly down to weapons with the Gunshield trait, which could be interpreted to read that all the crew get medium cover to the front, even if they are 5" in front of the gun :? ) and the rules for movement which also seems to require crew to still be active, but not require them to be in contact with it. As long as at least one crewman remains, it can fire (unlike mortars etc). Ideally, I'd reduce the rate of fire in a similar fashion to the rate of movement for crew loss, but I've yet to try that out.
