Allan,
     I disgree with the concept!   Very soon the multi-gun turret
vehicle will arrive and the number of plusses to peneration will be
impressive.   (Far too impressive to be interesting or believeable.)
     A mixture of methods to resolve similar problems can only cause
problems with the players.   The thing that needs to be resolved in 
this case is: What is PA? 
     If PA is infantry, treat it as infantry.	If PA is a vehicle/s,
treat it as a vehicle/s.  

Bye for now,
Waiting for heated replies.
