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.
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.
A rather adorable, but mediocre transport.
