I assume that the  "M3 Stuart Honey 60pts limit 1 exposed, no AT value" is the turretless version used for recce and, initially, that the  "M3 Stuart 90pts 90pts limit 1 10/41+" was the 75mm howitzer motor carriage M8 but the latter didn't come in until 09/42, as far as I'm aware.

Quote from: kustenjaeger on 16 February 2025, 07:09:28 PMMy hard copy of BKC IV has 3 lines under armour for the M3 Stuart:
 M3 Stuart Honey 65pts limit 12, 10/41+
 M3 Stuart Honey 60pts limit 1 exposed, no AT value
 M3 Stuart 90pts 90pts limit 1 10/41+

So for the Stuarts in armoured regiments I would just take the 12 limit (1/40 AP, 2/40 AT) 65 pt tanks and ignore the other two entries (the 60pt might be for an early turretless version in Tunisia, no idea on the 90pt).

BKCII had tank unit (Honey) at 65pt from 10/41 with a limit of 12.

I'll double-check the points values but the turret-less one is the Recce version.
Not sure what the 90pts one is - as a Recce version of the turreted variant would come in at 85pts.
But 60-65pts sounds about right.
I'll come back on that.
