Few questions about tankriders and re-supply
Fri Feb 28, 2020 5:48 pm
Hello.
Like the title said, few questions.
- Who can have tankriders, can any unit ride a tank and use it as a transport when coming from reserve?
- Is there a limit of how many units can ride on a single tank?
- What is carrying capasity of a tank?
Had a game today where German Stug G had tankriders onboard, MG team and rifleplatoon, is this possible? Used Overlord book.
Re-supply order.
- How many tanks can one supplywagon/truck/cart resupply with one order if we assume all tanks are in contact with it? I.e 2 Stug G's next to cart, can they both take supplies with one order?
- And continuing from previous, can both Stug's get their own orders after they have been reloaded with ammo, assuming they haven't had an order yet on ongoing turn?

Hi! Will try to answer your questions:
Tank Riders:
Strictly speaking, you can only ride tanks if you have bought the proper tank-riding troops (pag.72 of Fall of The Reich book comes with an option to buy a tank-rider squad).
But, generally, if you previously agrre with your opponent, you can allow proper historically accurate troops to do so also.
Limit is one section per AFV (in case of Germans it is the rifle squad and the MG team together)
Re-supply:
As per the written rules, only units in contact can be resupplied per order used. "any friendly unit in contact".
Again, if you agree previously, you can allow a re-supply vehicle to give the re-arm order for up to a short distance (2 inches perhaps?)
And yes, you can order both Stugs to do as they will if you have the orders to invest on them.

Thanks for reply! While games are getting bigger and more points to spend there will be many odd and new situations it seems...
