Was going to say that. Switch from a ready action to simply: Unit cannot do a Move action immediately prior to it's shoot action. Also, one shot per round, no reaction - standard big AoE stuff.Jellicoe said:
I'd probably drop the TOW to D10+3
Drop the main gun to 3xD6+1 as it is closest to the PLA FAV main gun in concept.

TOW II AT Missile System
Range 40" D10+3
The Bradley must be stationary when firing this missile system, none of its 2/3 actions may include Movement. (maybe only use against vehicle or emplacement targets?)
2 shot system, although 7 missiles carried in total the mechanics of realoading probably go over the idea of just making a simple system.

The Bradley may carry up to 6 size 1 models. Models may mount the Bradley simply by moving on to it, and may leave with a Move action in the same way. If models either enter or leave the Bradley, then both the models and the Bradley may only take a single action in that turn. If the Bradley is destroyed, every model on board will immediately suffer a D6-1 Damage Dice.
Firing ports - when embarking infantry up to 2 soldiers may use firing ports located in the rear of the Bradley to fire their M16A4 Assault Rifles (targets to the rear only)

I agree the the AT punch is the key feature. The firing ports hardly matter really. I am not sure though at the moment if this is all that balanced. One would have to run a few tests of 2 M2A2s vs. 1 M1A2 (or Challenger) as point wise it stacks up roughly, but wether this is a a good balance.
TOW gives it enhanced striking power at the expense of movement. Maybe 200 points is too little and this needs to be readjusted upwards to 250. An IFV with an AT capability is that worth 50 or 100 or 125 points more?

If you are giving it the M242, M240 & TOW the unit is going to be a lot closer to 300 pts than 200. It has massive anti-infantry and deadly anti-tank plus APC ability. Look at the Tunguska it has 8d6 MG with weaker armor and is 280. Surely the d10 AA ability isn't that expensive.
