RE: German ww2 skfz 251 'Hanomag', ect vehicles, too strong, use carefully!!!

<t> I think that the reason the NATO countries had a five km limit that they wouldnt go under, suggested that some of the more new Soviet made tech, was indeed much more dangerous than the SA-3 for example...<br/>

And, apparently, the Russians did give the Serbians some of their more modern ...

<r> I don't know if you have noticed, but the ww2 era German apc's or more likely known as the SDKFZ 251 Hanomag, (and it's later slightly smaller and more agile with better armament), version are defenately too strong fighting vehicles in the game...<br/>

Where is the 'buy game here' link???
