I've been trying to work out the specifics for my Vietnam-era SGII
scenario that I'm going to run at Cold Wars. I've had a few suggestions about
how to handle the sandbags within the M113. It's been pretty much agreed that
the M113 is armor class 1. What I'm thinking of doing now, is that if the
sandbagged M113 takes a penetrating hit, then all occupants of the APC shift
up one die for their armor roll.
What do you think, sirs?

Simple but elegant!
Some purists may argue that the sandbags didn't really reduce risk of injury
just lessened the likelihood of fatal injury. Essentially the sandbags became
massive spall lining. Concussive effect was still considerable; like running
into a building or tree stump at 40kph; lost of broken bones could still occur
but at least limbs would still be attached!
Personally I'd go with the die shift!

I thought that they were mainly used for mine protection?

I agree with your assessment. It's not exactly realistic, but it's close
enough. I just don't see another way to handle it as easily and get results
that are believable.
