[House Rules] Are vehicles really diging in?

[Brett Nicholson]

Prime movers: Can they dig-in? I understand that they are counted as collateral losses, like a wagon or truck, when an X result is generated on the direct or indirect tables but they do have a direct-fire value as a combat unit. I realize they are not APCs but also, while here, want to know if they are soley treated as transport if they are eliminated, as step losses, in the case of scenarios where normal transports, such as trucks and wagons, are not. In the present scenario they don't count towards the reduction of initiative but for victory purposes they are not mentioned at all, along with trucks. Because they have a direct fire value I am prone to believe they count as VC step losses. But first and foremost, again, are they allowed to dig-in?
