If the Argentinians were fighting from trenches and sandbagged
positions, much like a BUNKER, a antitank missile would be just the
right
weapon to destroy their BUNKER. This situation of destroying a POINT
target
with an antitank weapon is covered in the Star Grunt rules. I don't
think
there's any need to write up special rules to cover this kind of
situation.
If you firing an antitank weapon at a infantry team, dice randomly
for
which figure is hit and remove it from play.
