The DS2 system is a more complex form of what is in SG right? SG 
omits vehicle movement rules since one isn't able to move faster than 
12" per turn with a vehicle.

If folks are willing to toss that out then I am as well.

Perhaps you mean something larger like a M2 Half Track with the Quad 
50 mount? A jeep with for M2HBs would be pretty heavy.

Though the Ontos with 6 105mm RRs would also violate the rule I 
guess. I sometimes break it with some vehicles anyhow I think. Mostly 
in augmentations of additional SAWs and MMGs like on the Merkava: a 
120mm main gun, a 60mm mortar, a Coax MG in 7.62, an  external Coax 
.50 MG, a TC's 7.62MG and a Loader's 7.62MG, 6 weapons on an 
ostensibly size 3 or size 4 tank.

I'm somewhat
