and
APSW positions.  I don't see the "weapons element" as being much
different
than an APC with GMS and APSW.	These weapons elements would hold back
and
only be called forward when the rest of PA squad or platoon encounters
something a bit tougher than usual.  Then, regardless of the threat,
infantry or armor, they move forward and provide supporting fire or
launch a
missile.  They would provide close support to their platoons while
possessing the exact same type of mobility as the rest of the PA
platoon.

One thing that might be better is an Infantry walker with a GMS/H (or a
turreted GMS/L - if you're using the rules on my site). The free
self-protection APSW can be handy. Plus, the Infantry walker (size one)
only
takes up 8 capacity points to transport.
