1. VST is Virtual Supply Trucks optional rule.

2. Yes. Both variables are considered.

3. It is best to not have vehicles in any hex that can be assaulted by enemy infantry in good order. While not explicitly spelled out in the rules, experience shows that assaults by infantry into covered terrain will dislodge unsupported armor. The ratio of infantry to vehicles is important and should not be overlooked.

4. Actually there is a hex side benefit for direct fire and assaults to the defender. I was speaking from a defender's POV. It is dependent on the variable in the pdt for each game. Frozen streams mean nothing.

Assaults in transport mode are possible, and quite worth while under the right conditions or in special situations....all assaults are more likely to be successful when the enemy is softened up first.

Hq's can move in "T" mode quite well. Just do not leave them that way at the end of the turn if the enemy can spot them. HQ's are prime targets anytime. With the new disruption rules, even more so.

Artillery, when using the optional set up rule requires one full turn after coming out of transport mode before the game checks for setup against the pdt variable. Ops need to be established, gun mechanisms calibrated, ammunition brought up...etc.
