Yes ,but is it then 16 troop spaces including or excluding the crew
positions? (I would tend to think it the latter on the basis of the NSL
LKPzW VI, which I thought was to counter balance the smaller squad)

So ,athough it has its own quality die for actions ,its not recognised
as a
command capable?

There is a nice 8 wheeler APC in the DS II range that _I Want_ in 15mm!
  I think it should be size 3, Armour 3 and wheeled, crew ports for 1/2
firepower from the inside to either side but with limited support
weapons.
  
We could claim that for the ESU !

In the end though I buy the figures/vehicles that I like so if my FCT
end up
with a AGCI-5B cos its the only one in 15mm thats done, or I prefer who
cares about allocation!
I am however wanting guidelines for OOB's to take a basis from.
