Tactics - How to use APC's
The scenario I'm playing now (Black SS #26) has a good number of APCs in it.
How do people generally use them?
With the ability to add them to a hex as a non-combat unit they can certainly beef up the direct fire ability of a hex but since they can't Dig In they are pretty much dead meat if any sort of armor or AT gun is in the area.
I also have a couple of questions around them:
1) Is it correct to assume that APC's have no bearing on the modifier for having 3 combat units in a hex? That having 1, 2, or 3 APC's in a hex have no column modifier?
2) APC's use the Motorized movement column, correct? They have the transport symbol so I always associate that with Motorized. This brings up a missed opportunity by APL when designing the PG counters. They should have used some sort of coloration or indicator with the movement factor number to indicate what type of movement the unit has. Black = motorized, white = foot, red = mechanized.
