Why is the 20mm quad of the germans just one single weapon and the triple mg151/15 which was mounted on the sdkfz 251 are three single waepons...? These sdkfz�s shoot down nearly every enemy plane, so i prefer them much more than wirblewinds or m�belwagens. Marder

Welcome to the wonderful world of compromises. The same sort of fudging the numbers is used in giving the PzkwIb one large mg factor instead of two mg's in the turret. This is one of the abberations that doesn't get mentioned a lot like the every tank a Tiger, every infantryman a FJ every artillery piece a ammo truck supported flame rocket firing abomination. The game allows you to erect a impenetrable shield against aircraft. About a thousand points of 20mm quads will mean certain death to any allied aircraft that enter the board. Just learn to live with it. If a human opponent asks for 10 air sections available I know where a good portion of my points will end up. thanks, John.
