Luftlandepioniers and panzerfausts

[Blue Devil 88]

How come Luftlandepioniers are less expensive point-wise than Grenadier Pioniers (245 points vs, 260 points)? Especially considering the Luftlandepioniers have the ability to be air-dropped. The same can be said for the Waffen SS pioniers, who are equal points with the Luftlandepioniers. Was this a misprint and the Luftlandepioniers should be worth 260 and the other two German pionier units 245?

Also why isn't the Panzerfaust a One-shot weapon?

Donno about the points, buut..

..You tend to carry more than one Panzerfaust.

Just by calculating the points all German Pionier units are 260 pts.
The difference is there to reflect their role within each army list. Just a small incentive to use them in the Elite lists, that is all. And 15 pts is not much of a difference.
So no misprint at all, just some author's prerogative! :wink:

As far as the Panzerfausts are concerned, Hiro answered it all.
In addition I rarely played a game of WaW with a Panzerfaust shooting more then once... 8)

Panzerfausts...I always kill the pesky things as soon as I can! Watch out, cause they sneak up an bash your T34-85....
