Panzerbefehlswagen 38(t) Ausf. A/B/C/D/E/F/S/G
    Copyright (C) 1996 by James Lowry (jlowry@tfb.com).

        The Befehlswagen was produced concurrently with all the regular models
    and served alongside the normal models.  They were used as commander's
    vehicles for units equiped with Panzer 38(t)s.  Late in the war, some were
    used as observation vehicles for self-propelled gun units.
        The adjusted cost is pre-WWII even though some of the variants were
    developed after the war started. Its main armament is a 37mm anti-tank gun
    (crit|*|*|no|*|*|*|1/2|1) with AP (cr|6d*4|12|500|1 mi.) and HE
    (exp|6d[2d]|10|n/a|1 mi)  and a .30 cal machine gun
    (crit|cr|7d+1|20|12|1000|4700|8|100) in the same mount in the turret.  The
    turret is motor-driven or turned with a hand crank.
