Editing BA-64 Platoon

The BA-64 Platoon is a unit available to the Soviet Union in Flames of War. It is built primarily around the BA-64 armored car.

==IRL==
The BA-64 started as a replacement for the outdated BA-20 and to grant better off road capabilities than the existing variants of armored cars. Captured German armored cars were studied by the GAZ interest, who looked at the armor and then decided to use the base chassis of the GAZ jeeps whith the armor influence of the German armored cars to create a solid, well protected, and manueverable open topped armored car for scout purposes.

The BA-64 was totally unsuitable for frontline service, but mostly saw service as a courier, ferry, and scout vehicle, where it performed admirably. The DT machine gun could shoo away stinky pretzel eaters and the occasional aircraft, but not much else, though some units were field converted to hold an AT rifle, though the affect of these vehicles is largely unknwon. 

Post war, the BA-64 was sent to Warsaw pact <s>colonies</s> satellite states to arm them adequately in case America decided to collectivise a couple of Nukes and wipe out communism.
