Motor cycles and cavalry

Post by Forst »

If a platoon of three sections is on motorcycles or are cavalry, are they represented as 2 bases like other transports or 3 bases but just faster? (I'm thinking early war recce)

What about Jeep born ones? In the rules they can be up to 4 sections?

Also as transport, including tows, take damage as sections. Does that mean a unit engaging them with small arms or HE can only damage them one at a time, or is the resulting shock shared between them? Ie if an infantry platoon causes 3 shock on a pair of guns being towed by soft tractors, do you just test for kia vs 1 (3 times) or split 3 between both?

F,

Just represent each section one for one. So a 3 section M/C platoon has three models. These are treated as infantry platoons and not "transports" when fired at.

What about Jeep born ones? In the rules they can be up to 4 sections?

Jeeps are classed as transports, so yes.

Also as transport, including tows, take damage as sections.

One at a time, you target each transport model individually.
