The Fuchs is the transport of choice for the recon infantry of the Armored Recon Company. Essentially a free transport for your infantry teams, you get 3 Fuchs for 4 points or 2 Fuchs for 3 points.  
A rather adorable, but mediocre transport, the Fuchs is the ride of choice for the recon infantry of the Armored Recon Company.  


The lack of cost aside, the Fuchs lacks any notable properties. Despite the wheeled chassis being WAY fast compared to tracked transports like the M113, this has not been represented for some reason. With an AA MG with moving ROF 3, it can comfortably engage enemy infantry but dies when anything sneezes on it. While the front 2 looks cute, it has literally no benefits over armor 1 due to the majority of anti-armor weaponry having more than AT7. This is worsened by its top armor of 0, so it dies when most artillery hits.
With then MG-3s constant ROF 3, the Fuchs can comfortably engage enemy infantry out to a range of 16 inches after bouncing across rough terrain or hiding in a convenient shrub. While you can sacrifice one of your Milan teams to mount the missile on the transport, it is not recommended due to the absurdly tiny West German unit size.  


A rather adorable, but mediocre transport.
While the front and side armor value of two might make you feel tough (at least your not the poor saps in a [[HMMWV Scout Section|humvee]]), it unfortunately  has no functional benefits over armor 1 due to the majority of anti-armor weaponry having more than AT7 meaning you only can only really defend against MGs and infantry weapons. Also the top armor of 0 means you most likely get fucked by artillery and salvo weapons.


Since the Fuchs is wheeled rather than tracked, you get a stupid fast road dash of damn near four feet. If you ever need to suddenly clear an entire board in one turn, hop on the nearest autobahn and roadtrip it.

A rather adorable, but mediocre transport, the Fuchs is the ride of choice for the recon infantry of the Armored Recon Company.

With then MG-3s constant ROF 3, the Fuchs can comfortably engage enemy infantry out to a range of 16 inches after bouncing across rough terrain or hiding in a convenient shrub. While you can sacrifice one of your Milan teams to mount the missile on the transport, it is not recommended due to the absurdly tiny West German unit size.

While the front and side armor value of two might make you feel tough (at least your not the poor saps in a humvee), it unfortunately has no functional benefits over armor 1 due to the majority of anti-armor weaponry having more than AT7 meaning you only can only really defend against MGs and infantry weapons. Also the top armor of 0 means you most likely get fucked by artillery and salvo weapons.

Since the Fuchs is wheeled rather than tracked, you get a stupid fast road dash of damn near four feet. If you ever need to suddenly clear an entire board in one turn, hop on the nearest autobahn and roadtrip it.

The Fuchs comes as a tank attachment for the Aufclarings Zug platoon in which you can get 2 Fuchs and some dudes for 3 points and 3 Fuchs and some more dudes for 4
