Basic Vehicle Combat

“Vehicle combat” is any combat
that involves handheld weapons fired
from within a vehicle (e.g., bank rob-
bers shooting from a getaway car),
weapons mounted on a vehicle (such
as a fighter jet, tank, mecha, or spy
car), or attacks that use the vehicle
itself as a weapon (ramming, punch-
ing and kicking with the arms and legs
of a mecha, etc.).
In the rules below, a vehicle’s “oper-
ator” is the person at the controls. A
“control skill” is the skill the operator
uses to direct his vehicle; e.g., Driving
or Piloting. An “occupant” is anyone in
or on the vehicle – operator, crew, or
passenger.
