    Yes, but don't modify the rules so that manoeuvre is ineffective.
That's
like modifying the rules to suit the way that you use your walkers! It's
also like turning vehicles into bunkers!
    By having AC:1 on sides, your opponent is almost forced to use GMS/L
to
have a realistic chance to oppose your walkers.
    With AC:0 on the sides, your opponent can then have a chance to use
infantry weapons against the walkers. Or your opponent could use size
class
1 or 2 direct fire weapons against them.
    If you're using a gothic SF setting, like Epic40K, GMS aren't
available,
so your opponent needs manoeuvre opportunities to be able to use
infantry
weapons against the side and rear of your vehicles.
