[Rules] Who commands the SPAs?

[vince hughes]

6.83 Other Leaders.
Regular leaders may not activate or direct tanks (1.2),
reconnaissance vehicles (usually armored cars, 1.2), or tank
leaders. However, they can activate APCs, self-propelled
artillery, and engineering vehicles (like the AVRE or Crab)
even if they are AFVs. Any AFVs and tank leaders stacked
in the regular leader’s hex can activate simultaneously with
him if the stack self-activates

PY,

Same answer from me. As well as the above which shows that regular leaders can activate SPA and the rule you also referenced 6.8 telling us that they can not assist with SPA morale suggests to me that combining SPA with ORD of any type is fair game for leaders with a combat mod. I have found nothing to say that this can not be done. However, I have not read the full set and for all I know there may be something elsewhere that gives us more insights. But from what has been discussed here, it all seems to jive with that email (and intent) that Doug sent me that I posted here a week back or so.
