Re: [DS] Mixed units?

IIRC, the units (except Arty and Command (?)) are supposed to be 'pure'
*but* you could arm the trucks with LAD!  Put in the Cargo spaces for a
size 2 truck (10 cap using 6 cargo) and you have "room" for an LAD
(Consider it a 'Shotgun guard" stinger team.)  I also arm my NPC 
"Combat
 Supply" ammo carriers with Self Defense weapons (But they aren't
softskin trucks so that's a little different.)

Combat Supply vehicles;

Size-1
Cargo x1, second APSW

Size-2
Cargo x2, LAD (or Basic/PDS) [or GMS/L I guess!  Never done it...]

Size-3
Cargo x3, LAD and second APSW or PDS/Enhanced.	("Turret-1" possible,
say
a DFFG or MDC to fight your way out of ambushes?)

 Size-4
Cargo x5 [No weapons, depends on armor and escort)

Cargo x4, LAD and PDS/Basic, PDS/Superior.  ("Turret-1" and a second
APSW?)	

Size-5
Cargo x6, Second APSW
various possibilities...
