And as Don pointed out, we already had a conversation with Russian gamers who were insistent that the closed top versions (to include the BTR-60s etc) had a lower troop capacity. AFAIR, the roof and arrangements for hatches reduced the capacity of the open top version (which had simple charabanc type cross-benches)

And as for sources - despite most web sites saying "20", I'll stick with David Isby's "Weapons and tactics of the Soviet Army" where it is stated that passengers are 12 (18-20 in open-topped versions).

That tends to agree near enough to the Russian guys who we dealt with 5 or more years back. 14 is near enough to 12 for game purposes.

Cheers
