Das Stats

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

IRL
