Overview
AirLand Battle
Although they can be rather expensive at 15 points compared to many of their counterparts in both NATO and the Warsaw Pact, the Pansarskytte are still highly effective with their usage of the Carl Gustav LAW, enabling them to punch holes in all but the most heavily armored tanks, they also wield accurate and powerful battle rifles and machineguns, enabling them to counter other infantry from a distance.
They are however, poor in close-quarters combat as their battle rifles do not have a high rate of fire and their machinegun has the STAT trait that prevents them from firing on the move, they are better off fighting from a distance against enemy infantry.
