Haha yes, so we shall see whether in 3rd Ed will Warlord Games also “extrapolate” the rules for Officer and HQ Units in transport to that of Spotters in transports as well? Or will they say something else and disallow spotting from soft-skinned and open-topped vehicles?

Yes I had seen in some of the campaign books that US spotters were allowed in…[Read more]

Most likely an intended cross reference to the only other related morale bonus, that from a nearby friendly officer.

oh I fully agree that WL could and SHOULD have read through their own v2 FAQ and made sure that every point was covered in the rules…. but they didnt so the v3 FAQ is going to be longer than that of v2 🙁
