>     Is it possible to create an infantry "weapons element" that has
both
GMS and APSW capability?  I can understand a possible problem with
having
both weapons in a militia or line element, but I see no problem with
having
a powered infantry element where one figure has a GMS/L and another has
an
APSW.  I'm figuring the point cost would be the basic element cost, plus
the
GMS/L cost, plus the APSW cost.  So for a powered infantry element with
GMS/L(Basic) and an APSW it would be 40+20+10=70. Does this seem right?

Except for the fact that I use 4 points for APSW, yes. (40 + 20 + 4 =
64).

As for a team including GMS/L and APSW, this seems a little odd. A GMS/L
takes 2 capacity points, a APSW takes another capacity point, while a PA
team requires 8 points of capacity. Perhaps your PA Team with these
weapons
is actually 2 points of capacity greater?

Also it seems a little too diverse. The APSW would require different
positioning to the APSW, I feel.
