Q On Hand-Held AT-weapons and Open topped Vehicles

[Jimmy Engren]

Hi!

2 questions arose while playing some scenarios from the New Normandy Box

1. If I understand correctly, backblast ordnance support weapons cannot fire from buildings, is that correct? I cannot find it in the rules and would appreciate a rules reference.

2. Open topped AFVs such as the Marder cannot be buttoned and the crew is always vulnerable to small arms fire, correct? I cannot find the reference to the rule for open topped AFVs even though it is hinted on in the rules for AFVs as written.

TIA

1. SWs that use the OFT cannot be fired from Buildings or Bunkers. See last paragraph under 1.6
2. Small arms can attack unarmored vehicles, open-topped vehicles and open armored vehicles with their IFP and SWs. See 2nd paragraph under 17.2
