Modern Combat - errata or changes

[Rick]

Got to admit, I like the Modern Combat ruleset and will be using it a lot. However, I think everyone will have their own idea of what needs changing with some of the army lists, or armaments on some of the vehicles; take the German Army Fennek, for example -

The Dutch reconnaissance vehicles are armed with a 12.7mm machine gun, German vehicles with a 40mm automatic grenade launcher

(army technology.com). Now, that has been in service since 2003, also from armytechnology.com, about the Flakpanzer Gepard:

KMW are developing a missile system for the Gepard, using the Stinger surface-to-air missile system. The twin Stinger launching system will be fitted on the side of the 35mm twin gun.

It would be good to have an option for the 40mm AGL on the Fennek, even if the Stinger option for the Gepard is too far in the future.

1) AFAIR there is option for HK GMG for the Fennek. For +15 points. At least it was there in the playtest files
2) Fenneks used by the German army are supposed to work in pairs. One vehicle armed with AGL (HK GMG to be specific), the other with MG. Verified with folks actually using that stuff by Sgt Scream . Army Technology Dot Com is wrong sometimes ;-)
3) The fact that a system is being developed does not necessarily mean it is going to be fielded. KMW may be developing it as an upgrade option to be offered to other Gepard users - quite common practice in the industry.

Whoops

I really did make a mistake and miss that one, thanks Pietia! You are quite correct, there IS an option for the HK GMG in the entry for the Fennek, my bad!
