Clarification can be found in the new errata: They are seperate vehicles and the rules for vehicle units are optional.

I’ll try that. Thanks, mate!

Haha, okay, that is unsatisfying, to say the least. So chances are bad that someone from WG will react or even read here, right?

As for the Errata for the campaign books: to be honest, sounds like a cheap excuse from WG to not include campaign books there. (In fact, they included them as well then 😄) I see, that WG doesn’t want bigger discussions on the campaign rules, but when there are obvious errors and critical lacks, they should be addressed there as well (what they obviously did in other cases).

No one expects the campaign content to be 100% valid with the rest of the rules, but the rules for each campaign book should be 100% understandable and work with the basic ruleset.

In this case it simply doesn’t, as everybody seems to look on that unit in a way he prefers. For example, Recce (if it means that) on bigger vehicle units (if it is one) just doesn’t work well without having some basic commitments. Leaving players completly alone with that is just not very professional for game designers in my opinion.

First unofficial source is the opinion of the community  manager in this discussion

Aufklärungs Gruppe

Second hint are the similar Kraftradschützen from the Battle of France campaign book. These are also a unit of vehicles, same experience level all vehicles etc.

And of course, getting 5 order die for 180 points would be insane. Plus, the Aufklärungsgruppe takes one AC slot, so 1 order die would be the normal approach.

But your case shows the problem right here: No official source and several ways of interpretation of these “rules”.  Just opinions in the end.
