Yeah, but it's an historical scenario and even the ACCV version was not
truly
turreted; therefore while the rules would allow it the period will not.
One
thing to note with M 113 squads in Vietnam is that they rarely rode
INSIDE
the vehicle. THeir main worry (rational or not) was mines and they felt
the
vehicle was a death trap in a mine hit. The Vietcong and NVA often made
their
own mines from unexploded bombs, so one of their mines might have a
couple
hundred kilogarms of explosive in it - so sitting in it or on it was
rather
moot.
