Hi Nils!
I don't think it's in the fluff or anything, but just looking at the
pictures, you can see Orks hanging off vehicles. I always thought the
reason Battlewagons could have 3 Boys ride, was because they had 2 on
the inside of the Battlewagon, and 1 on the outside.
The Boys on the outside could jump off, if they saw a lot of fire coming
in. But at the same time, they are more vulnerable. So, it sort of
ballances out. Besides, there's always more where they came from.
For the reasons stated above, and for simplicity, I support the 4+
Bail-out for Orks.
What does everyone else think?
Warprat ;)
