Sure, except if we post information for others to refer to it is a good idea that we all make sure that information is correct. That's all the bogging I intend to do Big Grin

For the benefit of others...

With rarity set on a level other than none you have two budgets: points and rarity. The points are intended to reflect the combat power of the stuff you are buying. Obviously this is not a perfect comparison between vehicles and infantry etc. but that is what it is for. The rarity values are intended to reflect how common or uncommon certain equipment is in the time frame in question (I am not sure how much time effects rarity in CMBS but in the WWII titles something that is really rare in June might be standard kit and everywhere in September). The fact that those two budgets are set to the same numeric value is just an artifact of the way they did things. BFC could have said you get 5 rarity and anything uncommon takes 1 rarity to buy and something rare takes 2 or 3 but they decided give themselves more room for rarity to vary than the numbers 1, 2 or 3. The fact that they choose the same numerals for the budget for both values, is what it is. Personally I would have make sure the numbers did not match so it was clear from the start they were different things.
