A Marder costs only about 115 pts and it's an effective tank killer,if you're playing with the axis. It has the same gun 75/48 mm as a Pz IV (250 pts) and the STUG (300 pts) so this means it can kill pretty much any AFV the allies can throw against it.

Pros:
- It's cheap
- Powerful gun.

Cons:
- It doesn't have a MG and carries only about 8 HE rounds, so it's not particularly effective against infantry
- Has open-tops thus it's vulnerable to mortar/arty strikes
- Thin armor which makes it vulnerable to rifle grenades,so make sure you keep it at distance from the enemy infantry.

Best used against:
- Enemy armor.

I prefer the Hetzer myself.

That makes two of us... But until we'll see Hetzers on the CMx2 battlefields....i guess we're stuck with marders ;)

Duh, I never thought of that, thinking of CM1. I like Marders :-)
