Vehicle Riders

[LHMG]

Can squads move off of a vehicle in the advance phase if riding in or on any type of vehicle

 

[Binchois]

No. Passengers can only exit a vehicle during the MPh.

...Riders can be made to Bail Out, however, by running them through trees or buildings!

 

[von Marwitz]

No. Passengers can only exit a vehicle during the APh.

...Riders can be made to Bail Out, however, by running them through trees or buildings!

Or by turning the turret. But keep in mind that such capers will destroy the SW of the Riders.

So tank riders can get off the tank in the advance phase but cant move to an adjacent hex

No... sorry if I confused you. They are restricted as are passengers. (Un)Load only during MPh.

No. Only during the MPh. The tricks of "brushing them off" by driving through Orchards etc. or turning the turret might merely serve to save you the otherwise necessary 25% of the MPs for unloading. But the hazards of the Bailing Out way are very risky, especially with low morale troops and should mostly be avoided except in special circumstances.

They have to take a morale

Got it, thanks.

They have to take a morale check if brushed off right

They do. And that can also eliminate or malf SW(s) they are carrying so be careful.

APh up there is a typo. I'm sure it was meant to say MPh as all other discussion has been on point.

Thanks Clubby! Just fixed this...the tryptophan must have addled my brain!

 

[clubby]

We all knew what you meant.

Fanatic SS are fun to have as riders.

First line US, not so much.

You can sweep your riders off in the AFPh if you are that way inclined, with a turn of the TCA.

Just don't expect your SWs to be in one piece especially ones with X#s.

Sometimes I feel like the number of times my 8ML units have failed MCs (including CRs!!!) exceeds the number of times they have passed... ***sigh***
