The little van you have is one of the old CMD Future Wars line, and is
actually NOT based on a 25mm mini - the police APC in the 25mm range is
a
wheeled one. How about, instead of the free APSW, assuming a non-lethal
riot-control weapon such as a gas grenade launcher, water cannon or
similar
- uses the same rules as an APSW but all it does is suppress and/or
force a
confidence check among civvies/rioters etc., not kill?
Just a few random musings, all untested of course.....
