Okay, I can buy the vehicle either MOVEing or FIREing if it has a crew
of two - driver and commander/gunner.  The driver is busy driving and
the commander is busy telling him where to go.	What if the vehicle 
had a dedicated gunner in addition to the other two?  I just have a
hard time with a vehicle having to stop (not move) to fire.  Maybe 
I've just seen too many Army recruiting commercials with M1's flying
over dunes with cannons blazing...

Guys, I'm basing that example off of the vehicle stats at the back of
the rulebook for the AGCI-5B APC (Wombat is local OU version).	
"...additional RFAC/1 pintle-mounted either on turret top or rear
hull."	Based this description I envisioned this as either commander
operated (turret top) or trooper standing up out of troop hatch to
operate (rear hull) ala M113 cavalry variant often seen in Vietnam.
With this example I'm really wondering if I need need two actions to 
fire at seperate targets (like firing infantry support weapons at 
another target).  I think I'd have to say, "Yes."
