    Hello people,

    The Bren Carrier (Universal Carrier) has a capacity of 5 to transport.

    The original purpose of the UC was to carry specialist teams – specifically the Vickers teams.

    I was watching a Bolt Action battle report and the player had two UCs for a 10-man squad – the one squad split across two vehicles.

    I’ve had a look for some specifics, but I can’t find how the UC is supposed to be used in a Bolt Action context.

    I’d be happy to hear what others do with their PCs.

    Thanks.

    Regards,

    David

    I tend to use the UC Bren Carrier as a weapons mount and thus only have a crew of three in the vehicle – Driver, Gunner, Assistant Gunner.  Now, I made my carriers convertible over three armies, Canadian/US, German (obviously a captured vehicle) and, Soviet.  Both the Canadian/US and the Soviet are machine gun carriers.  Heavy and medium respectively.  The German is a Panzerfaust carrier, up to three Panzerfaust weapons, and jam packed with 10 panzerfaust weapons, enough for every soldier in a German squad.  The key is “carrier.”  The weapons cannot be fired from the Carrier.  I need to verify that there was a MG42 in the front.
