===Warsaw Pact variants=== Unlike Daddy Gorbachev's fighting men, Warsaw Pact nations do not get access to mass BMP-2s. Only one BMP-2 mounted infantry company may be purchased in each BMP motor rifle battalion. The Czechs and Poles are also able to bring one BMP-2 mounted infantry company in any of their T-72M tank battalions. Wheeled motor rifle battalions and T-55AM2 tank battalions may NOT bring any BMP-2 mounted infantry. The Bulgarian version of the BMP-2 got a 23mm autocannon instead of the 30mm, but its stats are identical. India's BMP-2 has a launcher for the MILAN ATGM instead of the 9M113. 4+ skill in the PACT nations synergizes with multiple small units of BMPs, blitzing into range and using their cannons or ATGMs against light armour. Polish and East German BMP mounted troops share the same cost as the Soviet list. Nevertheless, the BMP-2 is an undercosted and deadly vehicle that punches FAR beyond its weight. Highly recommended, if you are playing a mechanized (BMP) infantry list. The cost discounts and stat buffs make these units even more dangerous than their Soviet counterparts...with the limit of only one company of them. Otherwise, the BMP-1 is a vehicle that can go toe to toe with anything but the latest NATO main battle tanks. It might have a weak-ish missile and an outdated gun, but it's only a little more expensive than a BTR. Consider your list building needs before writing either unit off: PACT players do not have the chance to count on overpowered units to save their poor list building choices and really do have to know their units and roles inside out to play properly. Do not discount the utility of the 73mm gun for lobbing HE for direct-fire infantry support, either, especially in built-up areas.
