You will notice the earlier CS tanks the HE value has dropped down to a 2 and not a 3 ?
This is because it was a 3 in Howitzer (76mm) so not like the up gunned 95mm in the later part of the war ?
Which was a 25pdr Barrel with a 3.7 inch Breach ?

Which gun option are you using for the 25pdr armed AFV's Miles? Gun effect 7 or 8? The Bishop and Sexton have 8 but the towed gun is 7. I favour the 8 as it is the British equivalent of the US 105mm howitzer. Just need to up the points cost on the towed gun.

I think there's a minor typo on page 10: the first of the two lines in the points table entitled "MMG" should read "HMG"?

Easily fixed when we draw up our forces, though.

Good question John but if you hadn't noticed I hadn't got that far ?
But I would suggest gun 7 as that is consistent with 95mm ? Which is a gun 7 ?
Remember it's a Howitzer not a dedicated A/T gun ? Also the 2 guns aren't much different in calibre 86-87mm to 95mm ?

It's not just calibre though. You have to factor in muzzle velocity as well. Otherwise the German 88mm wouldn't be an 11.
