Special rule: 1.) To fire the main cannon, one needs at least two people: the gunner and the loader. If one wants to move, too, while doing that, one also needs a third character as a driver.

Loading is done by a test on Heavy Weapons that gets a 30 points bonus.
Firing is done with a normal test on Heavy Weapons.
The ammunition used are 127 mm grenades. Details can be found under ammunition.
A tank can be fire once a round. Both the loader and the gunner sacrifice all their AP to shoot.
2.) Usually there is a machine gun attached to the turret as well. The gunner has to decide which weapon to use: the machine gun or the main cannon.


*The most commonly used machine gun on American tanks was the Browning M2, but one could add any other with a bit of tinkering.
