Hmmm.

An INF rides a HVY into a town hex and they're attacked. The HVY is automatically 2x DEF.

The INF is:
A. Normal DEF because it can't scatter.
B. 2x DEF because it's using the cover the HVY found.
C. 3x DEF because it's in a town.

There's a case to be made for each of those options. I'd prefer C for KISS. Having a situation where the INF gets less terrain shelter than the tank it's riding feels wrong to me.
