Status: offline 		Abandoned enemy vehicles (if this is what we are talking about) will be destroyed when an opposing force's squad is placed in the same hex for one turn. As far as I know they cannot be destroyed any other way at this time. I know the Warrior knows this so I think I didn't understand his reply.

Hi John! Actually, if I ever did know the method you mention, I'd forgotten about it. I've never kept a squad around a hex to see them destroy an abandoned vehicle. Usually I just destroy the crew and move on.

Status: offline 		thank you everybody. The reason i post this is that some people use a "gamey" technique whereby you dismount your vehicle [ eg.a jeep] in full view of enemy forces[whether it be delibrate or not].you can see it but you cant kill it.remount the jeeps crew after 2-3 turns , to travel another 35 hexes of terrain..
it's a good idea to be prudent with your material, but that certainly sucks!,let the crew walk.ver8.02 fix please.

If you see an abandoned jeep and do't care enough to destroy it then it's your own fault if your opponent remounts and drives it to safety. (IMO)

To prevent the enemy from remounting the abandoned vehicle throw some arty his way every 2 turns or so. Then move your own unit to the jeep and take it out. Take out the gamey crew at the same time.

Now you have scored two kills for the price of one. His loss.

Status: offline 		Thats the point. I want to blow the thing to kingdom come ,to eliminate the mobility.Do this "trick" with a,SDKFZ 222, tiger or churchill ?.Come on ,shoot me i dare you.muahahahahaha, sucker,now I am off ,see ya next time when i pop a cap in your ass,time to prepare a cup o cha and wave goodbye,hope you like my camoflage scheme,i designed it myself daaaaahlings.
The logical thing is to as you have said target the area with arty HE;C'mon!, as I see it a burst of mmg at a jeep,1 x ap round at a sherman,simple.Abandoned vehicles from legit' play ,ok i can fathom the logic but to be caught with your pants down away from a vehicle to reduce being spotted without the retribution,just gimme one shot .
THIS IS IN NO WAY MENT TO BE OFFENSIVE TO ANY ONE PERSON OR GROUP.I JUST WANT LOGICAL OUTCOMES.

Status: offline 		Mother I agree with you on this one, but play games in the 10k range and if the opponent s do this allot then they will run out of formation slot and will not be allowed to call reinforcements But there are some legit reasons to decrew sometime, its just when its done in mass that I feel its gamey. I think the crew are whimpy now so I don't mind it any more

Status: offline 		This does bring up a question for me.... Can/will a "differnent" tank crew re-mount another tank if they are in the same hex as the abandoned tank? Say tank B1 and tank B2 crews dismount. This make for tanks crews AB1 and AB2. If AB1 goes to the B1 tank and AB1 goes to the B2 tank would they re-mount the other crew's tank? If so would/could different vehicle crews mount different vehicles?
