==In Team Yankee== ===USA=== [[File:Chaparral stat card.jpg|left|300px|thumb|The Stats]] The Chaparral is the only long-range anti-air missile system available to the United States in Team Yankee. While worse than the other two SAM units in NATO, the [[Tracked Rapier]] and the [[Roland Flak Batterie]], at least its better than nothing right? The MIM 72 Sidewinder missile has a range of 72 inches which is enough to cover your entire force, your friends force, and the force of the player on the next table over. One down side is that, despite having IRL armor comparable to the other NATO anti-air missile carriers, the Chaparral lacks an armor value, instead relying on the standard save. Maybe the crew just likes rolling around with the ragtop down, who the heck knows. This means that the M48 is very vulnerable to enemy machine guns and small arms fire. A squad with FALs or AKs have a very real chance of blowing your Chapperals off the board in one turn. To make matters worse, the Chaparral lacks the .50 cal that [[M1 Abrams|practically]] [[M60 Patton|every]] [[M551 Sheridan|other]] [[M113 Armored Personnel Carrier|US]] [[AAVP7|vehicle]] [[HMMWV Scout Section|has]], so the M48 can't even defend itself against infantry attacks. Nevertheless, the Chaparral serves a key role in the US air defense net. With abundant access to anti-helicopter weapons in your list, the Chaparral could be seen as the last line of defense for filling any holes left unguarded by a [[M163 VADS|Vulcan]] or a [[M247 Sergeant York|York]]. At 2 points per vehicle in a platoon of 2 or 4. ===Israel=== [[File:IZIECHAPIE.jpg|left|300px|thumb|<s>I guess the open top makes sense in the desert</s>Now with a 50% higher chance of sunstroke]]
