I didn't ask for invulnerability, just the armor to withstand some lucky shots of untrained chinese peasants
...and that is absolutely in the game. There is NOT even ONE vehicle in the game with a Kill Value smaller 7. So a Kill is NOT possible by Rifle or SMG shooting. But many vehicles are at 6+ to Hit. And as soon as the hits add up and some saves go wrong the vehicle is gone.
Define cover vehicles with infantry ? I you say one should hide an armored car behind infantry, then I find this neither realistic nor stylish.
As Mike said, infantry is not granting any cover bonus. On the contrary, quote from the Players Guide:
"If models of different Sizes are present within a Fire Zone, you may always opt to allocate the first (highest scoring) Damage Dice against the model with the Largest Size. After that, Damage Dice are allocated normally, regardless of differing Sizes."
But it is always a good idea to SUPPORT your vehicles by infantry...
Anyway, thanks for the enthusiasm. I am looking forward to more comments as soon as the book is out.
Mike and I still need to do some photos and a final review is also under way.
