Re: SG2 Vehicle Questions

A good point to remember about the Dirtside and Stargrunt games
is that they are good models of platoon and squad level combat.
So, do what you think real soldiers would do with real vehicles.

>a) I've got an APC with 2 turrets, each with an RFAC/1.  I've got a

 If

Yes, the gunner/commander is in one turret, the driver has moved to the
other turret.

>b) Same APC, but the driver is busy driving (MOVEing) both ACTIONS. 
Can
the
>gunner FIRE both actions, but with a different turret/weapon each
action?
Can
>he attack separate targets since he has 2 turrets?

No, the gunner/commander has to switch turrets while the vehicle is
moving.
Which is a bit tricky, if you think about it.
Your APC really requires more crew to be fully effective.

>c)  I've got a WOMBAT APC with a turreted GAC/1 and a pintle mount
RFAC/1.
>Can

the
>SAME
>FIRE ACTION to have a trooper fire the RFAC/1 at a different target?
the
same
>target?
You actually mean a pintle mounted SAW or APSW, but we get the idea.
Yes, provided you have the crew to do it.
Remember that the trooper firing the SAW/APSW will be exposed to enemy
counter fire.
The vehicle armour can't protect him!
Hope this helps.
