Blitz Questionnaire - Weasel

[Weasel]

Actually I didn't know what a BRM-3K was until I checked the internet, and for those who don't know either here is a picture.

As for ATGM ruin the game, yes they can. That is why I play before 1985 when there is no TI, and I also limit ATGM to 4 units total in a game.

Paul Bellerive
