How small is small to qualify for the -1 reduction in firing?
You mention in the rules a 2 wheeled A/C, so is a grayhound (6 wheel) too big? Is a Stuart a tank or tankette?
Which of the German Reece half tracks and A/C's are small?

Simon,

Stick to the genuinely small vehicles, I would not class the Greyhound as small, nor a Stuart as a tankette, for tankettes read those various two man Polish/French/Italian jobbies.

I would rate as Small the SdKfz 222, Dingo, Humber, Bren carrier, TK3/S, L3/35, BA64, while at the top end is the MkVIB and Hetzer, (really only included because of its uniquely squat and compact nature).

Some 4-wheeled A/C's are obviously too large for the catagory such as the Staghound or AEC, likewise the Sdkfz 251 series I would rate as too large as well, while the 250 series is right on the edge, though I don't rate it as small due to its height.

Hope that helps,

DB

Thanks for that, so small really is small. It was the Hetzer that threw it for us when reading the rules.

It is understandable to assume that the hetzer is in fact bigger, but you only have to look at the model and see why.... Confused

If you compare it to an APC or tank you will see that it is very compact, and has an ultra low silhouette.....
And yes they are a pain to hit...but when you do..... Laughing

BANG!
