Terry and I played a game yesterday where the use of a BergePanther recovery vehicle threw up some questions. I've found the answer now, and for those of us that have used these vehicles to soak up hits in the past it will come as quite a shock.
Hits can be allocated to these teams if they are attached to a platoon. However, they are listed as "Transport teams" in the army lists, so the firer can force hits onto Tank teams in preference to the BergePanther (see p69 BRB) by selecting "Tank" as their priority target.
So, using the example we had yesterday: 2 Tigers, plus a BergePanther - Only every third hit could be placed on the BergePanther.
The same is true of Transport and Infantry teams mixed in with Gun Teams. So, no more allocating the first hits on your 88's to the command stand or transports. They can still be used, indeed they have to be used, to soak up some of the extra hits, but the firer decides which team type takes the first hits.
