Default Lloyd Carrier

I noticed the Lloyd Carrier has a carry capacity of 16 men.

I believe it should be about 8 men in addition to the driver.

Here's a source:

I seem to recall this was corrected in the past, or perhaps there was a game design reason for this?

It could be one of those "two vehicles on one counter" deals like the Weasel.

It needs the capacity to act as a gun tow/tractor, I believe. That was what it was generally used for.

Yes, usually a prime mover for the 6-pounder, though the Universal carrier could also be used. the Loyd was unarmoured though detachable armour plates could be fitted. According to the now dead Col Paddy de Burgh of the Royal School of Artillery at Larkhill (himself an Arnhem veteran) these plates were rarely used, probably to save weight.
