Hi gents,
I have a situation where it is desirable to have a Russin leader ride a tank while possessing an MMG.
Per the rules:
"D6.2 RIDERS: ...Rider capacity is limited to a maximum of 14 PP."
So you cannot load a Russian MMG onto a tank with a squad (that would be 15 PP). But a leader is only 1 PP and the MMG he possesses is 5 PP...so we have 6 PP total and are under the 14 PP limit.
However
"A4.11 MOVEMENT FACTOR (MF): ...[EXC: The MF allotment of a SMC is reduced to four MF if it mounts, rides, or dismounts any form of conveyance during that Player Turn. ..."
So a leader does not have 6 MFs when loading. He is unable to move an MMG unless he has 6 MFs or is doing a A4.134 MINIMUM MOVE which is illegal when loading.
I didn't see anything in D6.4 LOADING that seemed to clarify this for except that it costs 1 MF to load.
So I suspect that the leader cannot load a Russian MMG onto a tank.
Can anyone confirm this for me?
But....
If he cannot load onto a tank with an MMG can he start the game on the tank possessing the MMG which he will later try and remove when he bails out? Or could he unload from the tank and leave the MMG unpossessed on it to be removed later by 2 SMC or a HS which later rides the tank just to get the MMG?
Thanks,
John
