Question:

The stacking rule says “any two ground units (regardless of size or type), plus either one artillery battalion or two artillery batteries, pus an unlimited number of supply units, tank units (regardless of size), and company sized units.”

Nowhere in the rules are “tank units” defined. The unit identification chart has armor and armored cavalry, but no “tanks”. Being a tnaker myself I know these 1980 NATO symbols can mean different things at different times. Generally in WWII tanks would be identified by the armor symbol and recce/armored cars use the “armored cavalry” symbol. All the armor symbol units in Narvik are company or platoon (troop) sized. The Norwegian army has three battalions of armored cavalry. It strikes me as just wrong that three battalions could stack for free (an armored cav rgt). I take the “tank units (regardless of size)” to mean company or troop size units with the armor symbol, not the Norwegian battalion size armored cavalry units.

QUESTION: What units qualify as “tank units” in Narvik?

Answer:

The term “tank units” in Narvik Rule 8A (Stacking Limits) refers to those units with the “Armor” or “Panzer” unit type symbol (for which see the Narvik Unit Identification Chart); it does NOT include any other unit types.
