Ben, we addressed this when Mike Mangus finished his Spartan, which is a full-tracked armored support vehicle. I think we said it got the benefit of it's armor, but no immunity in the frontal arc. Not sure, though. For an Austalian MRV (the M113 with a Scorpion turret on it), you could use it

Steve wrote I'm OK with this as long as the vehicle is at least 3' long. Now here lies a small problem, lets say Frank decided on a rule change , for simplicity if nothing else. some tanks are less than 3 long, does that mean the old rules would apply to them and only them ? if so we have had a
