    I note that the entry for the Lanchester armoured car in the Feb 2026 Errata refers to the HMG and MMG as separate weapons that can both be fired at the same target. Since this weapon mounting was common to a fair number of vehicles (Light MkV and VI, Guy Mk1a, and with the 15mm BESA/7.92 Besa in the Humber Mk2 and Light MkVIC), can this be interpreted as applying to these vehicles as well?

    Here’s hoping!

    In the other cases, it’s described as a turret mounted HMG with coaxial MMG or turret mounted light automatic cannon with coaxial MMG – they would have to errata out the coaxial bit for it to apply as coaxial weapons don’t get to fire with the main weapon, it’s either/or.  If they changed that for the British, they’d need to change it for every other nation too.

    It’s more likely they’ll errata the errata to avoid that can of worms.
