Does a wreck provide TEM for an AFV?

D9.3 seems to suggest that a wreck only provides TEM for infantry. Just want to double check as I've never realized this and never played it this way...

D9.3 doesn't suggest; it says, "All Infantry in the same Location with a wreck/friendly-AFV/abandoned-enemy-AFV are entitled to a +1 TEM."

Only Infantry must utilize the +1 TEM from a Wreck or AFV. However a Wreck/AFV may be a Hindrance if the LOS passes through that hex. (D9.4).

Hmm, I'm pretty sure I've played this wrong (i.e., counting TEM for an AFV) at least once.

Nope, but I think a non-burning wreck may be able to be hit again by a near miss(?) as an overstacked vehicle even though A5.2 does not invoke Overstacking penalties. I thought there was a Q&A that addressed this, but have been unable to find it. Perhaps there had just been a discussion about it and never resolved (Got a good memory, just awful short:rolleyes:).

A non-burning wreck may be targeted but is not involved in overstacking and cannot be hit as such. Per A5.132 only vehicles can be hit in an overstacked hex. A wreck is not a vehicle.

Ken,
Is that why I haven't seen a log from you recently? I could have answered that question.
