[Rules] APC's in assault?

[vince hughes]

APC's are great firepower additions if already STACKED with the INF as they enter the assault and not being used as carriers at that point. They are also useful for sucking up casualties IF that be your wish, but losing 5 firepower points in one step may be seen as too high in certain Victory Condition situations. Overall, if entering the assault with INF and not transporting them they give great flexibility in the assaulting stacks options. I've always found that if used sensibly they can be a great addition. But if used as rashly they can add to the enemy's victory points, become a terrible risk if trying to carrier borne infantry in an AP environment and get neglected if not enough leaders around them to activate them (armour or infantry leaders).
