Bombarding Tank Riders

[plloyd1010]

Fred, if your pal can handle ASL, I'm sure PG should be no problem. I was excited about the prospect of ASL before it was published. The actual product was disappointing to me. I had expected a much neater rules set, instead it was binder of minutia, much not being particularly relevant.

When thinking of bombardment fire modifiers against moving targets, I would look mostly to the drum fire rule in IA, and perhaps a "just moved" modifier as with AT fire. I don't expect the turrets would provide much cover. Apart from pre-war photos of "fighting from a tank", most riders appear to have been on the front or on the turret when it came to riding on tanks (photos & book descriptions). The ask yourself, what side of the turret would you hide behind while shells detonate randomly around you? It doesn't seem safe, and perhaps more dangerous than, the clap-boards and canvas of a truck.
