Burning wreck on road

[Vinnie]

The movement penalty of a wreck on a road is doubled. As per B3.42.
Thus a tur k pays 2.5 MP yo enter such a hex.
If the wreck is blazing, is the extra MP for smoke doubled as well?
I.e., does the truck now pay 3.5 or 4.5 MP?

Just to be bad, if this were a woods road, a BU tank pays what? 6 or 9?

The wording of B3.42 is pretty specific regarding what is doubled. Entry of the hex is not doubled, rather the wreck penalty is doubled. I would say no.

3.42 The one MP penalty for entering a hex already containing a vehicle/wreck is doubled to two MP per vehicle/wreck if entering that hex across a road hexside while using the road movement rate.

apbills is correct. Assuming this is a woods-road we're talking about and the AFV is not CE, F-VCA is across a road hexside & using forward movement prior to entry & neither the VCA/TCA have to change CA, nor is gaining elevation, the costs would be calculated as follows:

• 1MP for entering the hex across a road hexside (B3.41).
• +1MP penalty (doubled to +2MP penalty) for entering a hex already containing a wreck and entering across a road hexside (B3.42 & D2.14).
• The penalty for entering the hex is doubled again for entering a woods-road hex to a +4MP penalty (B13.41).
• +1MP assessed for entering a hex shrouded in smoke (B25.141 & D2.14).

Therefore the "usual" cost for a tracked AFV to enter the hex would be 6MP.
