Question:

The rule about equipping units says to spend the difference in the
strenghts of the unit’s sides in artillery RPs. This is quite clear.
However, the Army of Africa has confusing dual-sided 2-6/2-6* inf IIIs.
If one were to take the rules literally it seems that these could just
be flipped spending 0 artillery RPs since the strenghts of the sides are
the same. I assume that 0.5 artillery RPs should still be spent to flip
one of them? Or is it possibly intended that they can be only built to a
new standard when replacing them from eliminated units?

Answer:

If you are referring to colonial 2-6’s, they never fight in FWTBT as 2-6* III’s. Those counters are for breakdown counters during WWII scenarios.
