ok so under the rules for formations, in the battle lance, it says in my copy of the AS companion* that "If the Battle Lance is a vehicle formation, these Size 3+ units must also be pairs of the same vehicle model.", with similar language for the variant types.
my question is, what exactly counts as a vehicle formation for the purposes of these rules?
for example, if i made a "battle lance" comstar LvII that was 4 mechs and 2 vehicles, would i have to use paired tanks, or could i use two different models of tanks?
i figured i'd ask here to see if there was already something covering this, before trying for an official answer in the rules question board.
*i don't have commander's edition yet.
