[Rules] Morale Check - Trucks/Loaded Units

[upintheattic]

How are the morale checks dealt with if an OBA lands a successful M2 hit on a hex that contains a Truck (loaded with an INF unit)?

11.11 states that a truck has a -1 armor value (which would exclude it from the morale check), but the rules seems to indicate that is only used for AT fire dieroll modifiers. That being said:

Do vehicles perform morale checks?
Does the unit in the truck also need to perform the morale check?
If so, and the roll is unsuccessful, does the unit become disrupted/demoralized inside the truck? Fleeing could be interesting with this situation.

Anyway, I'm just trying to get my mind around this. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Jeremy

Hi Jeremy. The rule you're looking for is 5.6: Transport. It states "Once loaded, the transport unit and everything it carries are counted as one unit for stacking, movement, and combat purposes."

Therefore, the vehicle does perform a morale check but the unit it's carrying does not. If the vehicle becomes disrupted or demoralized, the unit is forced to unload per rule 5.66.
