Europa Games and Military History
Question:
If units carried by an APC are attacked, is their total combat strength increased by 1?
Answer:
The rule specifically covers attack, not defense, and so the bonus does not apply for defense.

Question:
Do units carried by an APC have their total combat strength increased by 1 for purposes of overrun?
Answer:
Rule 13 says “Overrun odds are computed in the same way that combat odds are…” Hence, the +1 attack bonus does apply for overruns.

Question:
Can a unit be carried by several APC counters, and thus receive more than a +1 bonus?
Answer:
No. Note the phrase “carried by an APC counter” in the rule. [TEM 38/39, Errata1]

Question:
Suppose two 3-8 infantry brigades, each carried by an APC counter, participate in an attack. Would their attack strength be 7 or 8?
Answer:
The bonus applies for each and every APC counter, regardless of the presence or absence of other APCs in the hex/attack. Thus, their attack strength would be 4 each, for a total of 8.
