The French FT-17 tanks set the standard of tank design between the wars.

Its battlefield debut occurred on 31 May 1918, east of the Forest of Retz, east of Chaudun, between Ploisy and Chazelles,
 during the Third Battle of the Aisne. This engagement, with 30 tanks, successfully broke up a German advance, but in 
the absence of infantry support, the vehicles later withdrew.

Got it. Thanks. I just played the Claudun scenario, and enjoyed it very much. 👍 Will there be more scenarios with the FT-17 in the future?

Tanks are worth 2VP, but only when the final figure is eliminated

Strictly speaking it is the number of figures in the unit on the VASSAL module.

Silhouette tokens are rather obviously surrogate figures
e.g. a tank with 1 sihouette marker is equivalent to 2 figures;
a tank with 2 silhouette markers is equivalent to 3 figures

The designation therefore can be considered as a tank and a silhouette token if you wish.

Tanks are worth 2VP, but only when the final figure is

What does the “2” included with the German Mark IV and French FT-17 designate? Does it mean these tanks earn two victory points if destroyed? Or perhaps that each tank is given two silhouette tokens? I would think it’s the former since both the British Mark IV and Whippet tanks only get one silhouette token. Thanks.

Ah yes, just noticed the symbol ;)

Germans move first, as rather prosaically indicated by the arrow adjacent to their symbol on the map.
I've add this explicitly to the text.. thanks
