As far as I'm aware, vehicles are able to claim the hit mod as long as LoF to them is partially obscured.

Correct.

I think of it as the infantry being in terrain, period; being partly in terrain = being in terrain. But the vehicle picking them up is always outside of terrain so it doesn't take a test.

The way i see it, is that the base just represents the probable area that the figures are in, but they might move around within that area. So if one end of the base was in cover, they'd probably all huddle up that end under fire, or run over to the other end to mount up if the APC/IFV was at that end.

And yeah, I play it the same way everyone else is. Always been easy in 5 min warm up, only other variant i've encountered is that one model on the stand must be in the cover area, not just any part of the stand. (which is fine as long as people have roughly similar figure configurations on their bases)

Is this worth an entry in the FAQ?


The third and fourth Q&As here address the embarking stuff:

I think "being in terrain" for shooting is something covered by the warmup and not something we could call without taking that call away from the players.
