Infantry Template Construction

            Draw a circle 4 1/8 inches in diameter.  Draw an X, with its center at the center of the circle.  Using one of the lines of the X as a base, from the center of the circle, draw two more lines.  Draw one at an angle of 135 degrees, the second line at an angle of 45 degrees.  Where the lines intersect the circle that marks the template ends.  Using another 4 1/8 inch diameter circle, connect the lower half ends.

Infantry Weapons Firing at Vehicles

            Any weapon assigned a template also has a chance to destroy or disable some types of vehicles.  Only one vehicle may be in the target zone, even if more than one fits within the template.  The firing infantry weapon must first hit the vehicle.  If the vehicle is hit, check the damage die for the location and result of the hit.
