I dont believe an AFV = an infantry unit  -- see below -- aint no way 
for the AFV to Advance  :)

the relvant rule is A.9
A.8 ADJACENT: Hexes (and the units inside them) are "adjacent" if they 
share a common hexside. Units are considered "ADJACENT" only if there is 
a LOS between the two hexes and a player could conceivably move a 
hypothetical Infantry unit from that hex into the adjacent hex in ques- 
tion during the APh. The word "ADJACENT" will be printed in all CAPITAL 
letters when this added restriction is necessary so as to differentiate 
from the more common usage with lower case letters. Q&A
