Where in the rule book does it explain the notes on vehicles (ex: slow,heavy armour,low profile,fast turret,open top, and so on…) and how they are used in gameplay? I cannot seem to find it. Could someone please list what each vehicle attribute does in gameplay?

Ok, here's how I read it. Speed of vehicles is on Page 51 Slow – move distance as rolled on 1, 2 or 3D6 Average – +1" per dice rolled unless in heavy going Fast – +2" per dice rolled unless in heavy going Don't forget that wheeled vehicles are double speed on a road. Heavy Armour – Treat side armour as front armour and rear armour as side armour when hit. (FAQ on TFL blog) Ronson – plus 1 on effect table for 3 net hits. (FAQ again) Low Profile – minus 1 penalty to shooter if target(Page 55) Small – minus 1 penalty to shooter if target(Page 55) Open Top – +1 to hit effect from barrage(Page 46) Fast Turret – 180' arc of fire and rotation in a phase instead of the normal 120'. Slow turrets have a 90' arc and rotation (Page 53) Hope that helps. The errata and FAQ is at toofatlardies.co.uk/blog/?p=1819 |

Heavy gun has no effect in the game, it's a left over from the playtest. All HE capable weapons are pretty heavy if you're an infantryman and they fire at you! Slow turret has a 90' arc of fire and 90' rotation in a phase(Page 53) regards |

"Open Top" also comes up under the discussion of lobbing a grenade at a small target, p 40-42. If you have the CoC rulebook on pdf, it's easy to simply "find" the next occurrence of a phrase. I write down every rule that trips me up in an index that I'm continually updating for the game. |
