Bombarding Tank Riders

Well Fred, your leaning is quite important. (That is why I am not really interested in a pissing match with PY, it only takes the discussion off topic.) I seems to me that you require a definition of "normal" in regards to this case. "Normally" passengers are only affected by what effects their transport, as they and the transport are treated as one unit (rule 5.6). So apart from the exception regarding DF vulnerability, that is what is written. It isn't historically accurate in any way, doesn't appear to have a grounding in reality, but is what has been written.

If you are happy with your game results, that's fine, they're your games. After you've read a few small unit AARs and some middle echelon combat narratives, your view on playing RAW will likely soften. That happens with most systems as the tension and compromises between play and simulation is revealed. The beauty of PG is that rarely does one need to look outside the system to find a better application.
