===Dutch=== [[File:TDBX01-15.jpg|left|300px|thumb|Een koninklijke doemkat!]] The Royal Netherlands Army has taken the practical route of recognizing that the (West) Germans make better tanks than they ever could, and so they, too, wield one of the mightiest tanks seen on the battlefields of Western Europe. Dutch Leopard 2 platoons form the backbone of the Royal Netherlands Army's tank squadrons, coming in units of 2-4 at 10 points each. Only 1 tank is allowed in the HQ, while the Recon (Verkennings) squadron can take up to two pairs of Leopard 2s. However, this discount comes at a price: dropping to 4+ skill and morale. The survival of Leopard 2s relies on the player being able to maneuver their vehicles to minimize any return fire, given that a single piece costs around 10 points. A failed 'shoot and scoot' order would typically be met with casualties as your Leopards are hammered with ATGMs or tank guns: they are strong but far from impervious against dedicated anti-armor. Now for a plot twist: you will probably be buying a couple of these at higher point levels. Why? Because this is the best anti-tank option you can get for the Dutch. While a unit of PRATs might suffice at the lower point levels, vehicle ATGMs is a pretty iffy choice in general. A platoon of Leopards has the ability to pick off enemy tanks from pretty much any point of the table when managed correctly, with orders used to minimize the chance of your tanks blowing up. It may not be the best tank overall, but it's still the king in a tank fight.
