Default Re: Half-track Passenger casualties

Thanks for the clarification guys.

What you say makes sense. However, as a campaign player there's certain infantry sections that I like to protect from being wiped out.

Aside from tanks, I have two choices:

1. Load them into a soft vehicle

Vulnerable to every type of fire, but if the vehicle does get hit, even by artillery, direct fire HE or AP round, chances are the passengers will only suffer one casualty.

2. Load them into an APC

Immune to small arms and shrapnel, but if the APC gets a direct hit from artillery, HE, or an AP round, chances are all the passengers will be lost.

It just seems like a large disparity - for losses - between a KO soft vehicle and a KO APC.

For campaign players, it seems to make more sense to carry valuble units around in soft vehicles.

Maybe losses need to be higher for softies?

cheers,
Cross
