You're thinking of the German version, which is equivalent to the American M113A1. That one is 10 points.


That's one of the problems with using 5-point increments for the costs ; if the M113 series cost 4/8/12, or maybe even 4/7/10, they would definitely be worth it.

For the life of me I can't think of one good reason for doing costs this way other than to prevent people from reverse engineering their costing formulas...but even that isn't really hidden by this so...

I hope they abandon this one day and go to a 1-point system...

Yeah, the M113 might be worthwhile for 1 point.

The 113 was the first model I made as a kid so I have some weird sentimental attachment to it...plus it was at the end of Platoon which also goes back to my early teens. Needless to say, I have a soft spot for it.

In game I have serious reservation of using the Brad to ferry riflemen into combat...

There's also that memorable scene in Waltz With Bashir.
