	The AMX-10 RC is an amphibious reconnaissance car with a 105mm cannon and aluminum armored plating that protects up to 23mm shells; while it wont stop a tank shell, most other vehicles in its class don't pack anything bigger than a 20mm gun. It first saw action in 1983 in the Republic of Chad, but got its real debut in Operation Desert Storm, where they protected the coalition's left flank and destroyed 20 Iraqi tanks outright, plus many more light vehicles and artillery pieces.

	Unlike Team Yankee, the role of the AMX-10 RC is to exploit weaknesses in the enemy's lines (often miles apart ~~in real life~~).

This is the ultimate blitzkrieg weapon, taking the firepower of a tank and putting it on a speedy platform. Instead of fighting head on or waiting for the enemy to come to them, the AMX-10 RC is the sort of vehicle that sneaks past the enemy in darkness and then hits them from behind when the Americans hit their front a few hours later.

	The AMX-10-RC is no longer produced and will be replaced with the EBRC Jaguar. Which is armed with a CTA CT40 cannon (the same gun as the upgraded [[FV510 Warrior\|British Warrior]]) and fancy new anti-tank missiles.

At 7 points for a 3 tank platoon or 9 points for 4, you get a vehicle with the firepower of a main battle tank and the armour of a damp baguette. This is a very odd unit to discuss, as it serves two completely different roles: recon and fighting.

	When used for fighting, the AMX-10 RC can engage all but the heaviest (read: NATO) tanks. Laser Rangefinder and HEAT ensure that you do not need to close in to punch through tanks, while ''Brutal'' allows your armored cars to destroy infantry rather reliably.

	Compared to the AMX-30 MBT, you have a discount of 1 point per platoon. Armour is the biggest tradeoff; your AMX-10 RCs have frontal 2 and side 1 but top armour 0, meaning that they will suffer against BTRs and M113-equivalent machine guns and die almost instantly against autocannons. Note that AMX-30s have a profile of frontal 11 side 4 and top 1: they will shrug off autocannon shots from the front, but do not even have bazooka skirts (WHICH ARE CLEARLY ON THE MODEL, BATTLEFRONT!) and will die against the lightest of side shots by LAWs and RPG-18s. Your main gun has HEAT, unlike the AMX-30's.		Compared to the AMX-30 MBT, you have a discount of 1 point per platoon.
