After playing a few games of FoW I have some questions that I woudl like answered.
Can I shoot at Tanks with Tank Riders on even if I cannot do enough damage to hurt the tank, but could I hurt the Infantry riding on the Tank.

From the FoW forum

If you are talking about infantry teams being carried as passengers then I'd say yes. Page 101 doesn't require the tank to be damaged just hit.
Yes dave,in most cases the infantry are more likey to die as their save is incresed to 5+(some infantry have exception an keep the 3+)

However tank escorts cannot be targeted because they aint teams
Makes sense as well because if you saw a tank loaded with enemy soldiers on it, you'd definitely treat it as a valid target even if you just have a rifle..
right page 101 has the low down

"if you hit a tank team carrying passengers every team carried by the tank is also hit by the same weapon...5up save for every team.. multiple hits each passenger takes one hit of each hit on their vehicle all serviving teams must dismount underfire an are pinned"

so unleashing your mg42 against a t34 stocked with infantry might be a very good idea

this is a great idea for a thread dave i had no idea the where pinned too,

any other questions? Smile
