Where is the Sdkfz 250/11 in v3?

[John Secker]

This is the command vehicle with the 28mm squeeze-bore Panzerbusche. I can’t find it in the new Armies of Germany book, or as an option on the app, though it’s possible I have not looked in the right place. I guess I can work out the points value based on the v2 version, and the rules for the squeeze-bore are in AoG for the weapon used as a plain AT gun. But it would be much better to have an “official” version and points for army lists etc. I can’t find any mention of it on this forum, but I can’t be the only one with models I want to use.

AoG, p85,  It’s in the Armoured Cars part of the army list with the 250/10.  Making the 250/11 requires taking one of the options, so you might only see the 250/10 in the app.

Aha! Thanks for this. So they class it as an Armoured Car rather than as a Transport, which is nonsense, given its role specifically as a Platoon Leader’s transport vehicle. And I have now found it in the app – it is only available if I take an Armoured platoon, I can’t add it as a transport vehicle in an Infantry platoon. Which is weird, because I CAN add the Sdkfz 251/10 as a transport – that is the larger (Hanomag) platoon leader’s vehicle. That is going to be a bit of a pain creating lists – it is all very well if I have an armoured platoon I can just tag it onto, but if I don’t then I will have to create one, which requires at least two vehicles, and command vehicle status for one of them. I guess I will just have to put in a 251/10 as a proxy and do a manual points adjustment. I wonder also what will happen in a tournament. Anyway, thanks for pointing me in the right direction, at least I have the points value for the vehicle now.
