Wiped out passengers

RE: Wiped out passengers
First of all, this whole issue needs to be taken into perspective. The game is designed to be a "simulation" of platoon-level combat in WWII. The time aspect is irrelevant. The rules say a turn represents "approximately" six minutes of real time. I interpret this to mean that time is dynamic and can be different depending on the action taking place. For instance, maneuvering a squad of armor into place, firing, and retreating out of your opponents "line of sight" would surly take more than six minutes to execute. However, charging your loaded vehicles directly into your opponents line of fire would probably take less than six minutes execute... Maybe only three. The point is this, if you, as the over all commander, mindlessly rush your loaded vehicles into your opponents line of fire you have made a grave tactical error and get what you deserve... disruptive / killed infantry.

However, if you deploy scouts / armor ahead of your transport vehicles to access the threat and use your mounted infantry the way they were used in "real life", the odds of your trucks being hit while loaded is significantly reduced. The use of mounted infantry, in my opinion, is one of the most realistic aspects of the game and requires good strategic planning from turn one till the end of the scenario. Also, its a good way to score points if your opponent tries to move to quickly on the offense or fails to disembark in a timely manner. : )
