sorry changed 479 and only thing i changed was wep 4 from law to 31 at-4, only only thing changed was date 1/90 to 12/120, copied into spare slot. then i recalculated, 22 was changed cost from 21 vs 23 for the 4 man 480 sqd.i have 480 4 AP shots not HEAT hmmm
OK - I just did this and the old one is 21 points, new one with just the AT weapon change is 22. All is in order.

You then compared with the existing #480 (which does not have the same weapons, SAW is different and GL ammo differs as does #of AT4 rounds), and note that that is 23 points, with less men.

As I said - examine the data, and see what actually differs.

2 men less will cost less than your new 6 man section, of course. No of men is a significant cost contributor.

However 480 has vision 10. The one you changed does not. Night vision equipment costs points. Night vision (esp thermal) is a major contributor to points cost.

The difference in ammo and weapons between the 2 sections may well make a point or 2 of difference.

Radio chance is higher in 480 but probably 10% is not enough to swing a point.

- it all counts towards the final value.

Cheers
