Bufla--The Anomaly of the Fall of France ...

[treadasaurusrex]

IMHO, the scarce, but dangerous, Bufla in 1940 should be an AFV with the 0 armored value as Philippe originally intended, and the current cyber counter depicts. Given the weakness of the most contemporary AT guns in that memorable year, Peter's depiction is more historically-accurate and mirrors the armor values on such things as the US M-3 halftracks and the early German Hanomag SPW 251 halftracks. Yes, these are not exact comparisons, but a zero armor value, is a zero armor value, which should be relatively consistent for lightly-armored, halftrack-like AFVs throughout the game series.

The inconsitency inherent in the PG series as regards armor, firepower, weapon range and movement values is substantial and challenging for those of us struggling to learn this interesting game's system. My hope is that the upcoming, enhanced playbook version of Fall of France, and the eventual 5th edition of the PG rules will directly address at least a few of these inconsistencies.
