Yea, I'm not going to add to this fire frenzy, only let you all know how I would handle it as I see best fit.

In short, yes I would allow the cover save and I would treat it like a barrage where cover saves will be determined by the center of the blast/explosion (in this case the center of the tank hull).

Yeah they get their save.

"Cover Saves"
"A position in cover sheilds troops against flying debris"

"Destroyed - Explodes"
"Flaming debris is scattered D6'"

There we go

If you want to interpret those bits as rules, not fluff (and they're in the rulebook well outside of the fluff section, so why not?) then I'll just have to point out that "flaming debris" /= "flying debris."

Mind you if I'm actually going word by word it does say the flaming debris is "scattered" d6 . Trouble is i can never find my scatter dice...

I think i've stumbled upon something more interesting from these rules.

A transport that explodes the people inside should get a cover save if you follow the letter of the rules.

Page 67 says

Destroyed - explodes

Treated just like hits from shooting. So they get a cover save... or at least things that get a cover save do, like camo cloaks or going to ground.

Thats just silly
