I was adapting my Ogre stuff to DS II as well, and I was thinking of
arguing
that the open backed GEV-PC's were special designed for PA troops. PA
troops
could fire without modifier from the back of the APC as long as it
didn't move
to fast, and they could dismount and move easier from the open back.
When you
think about it, the small amount of extra armor from an APC wouldn't
help PA
that much, but it would hinder their movement.
