Hello folks! So I got to thinking while planning my strategy for the weekend game and can't seem to find anything on this one:

I place a Fireball with a BBQ squad loaded onto the board first move first round using the scout ability. Do I then, on my next move, get to disembark with the BBQ squad and move 3 with fast or are they considered activated with the Fireball on first move?

Thanks

Any passengers are activated independently of the vehicle, so you can activate the Fireball and move it, you can then activate to move the BBQ squad out with its first action and then either move or attack with its second.

Ya I was assuming that they were played that way, just by taking the rules literally. Just seemed to good to be true.

Thanks for the census!

You do realise though that it will get destroyed by Axis lasers as soon as it arrives on table though - my oppo never puts infantry inside them

Thats the hope seeing as this weekend I'm fielding a German army. LOL…I did loose the Fireball last weekend to the new German Laser-JagdGrenadier team. THAT HURT! So hopefully I can repay in kind.
