Note that Hammer's Slammers was written based on Drake's experiences in 
Vietnam, specifically the invasion of Cambodia.  He was going through 
some rather poor-quality infantry--second-line and inexperienced PAVN 
troops.  And they do have 'combat car' (Read: ACAV, M-113s with 
multiple machine guns) support on most occasions.

APFCs are a difficult to use if you've got infantry of your own--I 
don't permit them to be active if there is even one friendly platoon of 
infantry anywhere on the board.
