Nice video. One note: you can use the pintle bren gun even if there is no passenger, you just don't use the hull monted one. Transport rules says that the vehicle crew can man one of the weapon the vehicle is equipped with, but doesn't state which one it is. so, for example, a M3 half truck with 3 machine gun and no passenger can just pick which one to use every time.
yeah sorry that ruling is old. It no longer works like that. You have to be touching the edge to deny cover, and that means that you can be assaulted from 12 inches away
So a question if anyone is still monitoring this vid. Can people shoot out of the Bren Carrier with their own weapons? Also, I had my first full game in which we set up some ruined farm house type things and we used walls and fences to define roads between the houses. They were the GW Fantasy accessories for reference. But I ran the BC down one of the roads and it was actually lower than the stone wall which we determined LOS blocking. Then I fired through fencing on the opposite side of the road at advancing infantry, Panzer Fausts in hand. There were the Bren's, a couple of rifles and the CO SMG. The result was pretty devastating but I wondered if those passengers would have fired. We agreed they could because open topped.
That was unfortunately wrong. Transporten units can not fire their weapons, but can man any extra guns on the vehicle transporting them(the crew of a vehicle can fire one Gun)

India Pattern Carrier, same stats but wheeled, seldom seen on tables.
Thanks for this video!
Such a little powerhouse. I like your tip of in the ruins, within 1" of edge to get cover but deny cover to your target.

@@boltactiontutorialsbybomor3846 thanks for clarification! I will look for that in errata list.
