Buffel is a South African Armored Personal Carrier that first appears in South Africa DLC of Wargame: Red Dragon.
History[]
Buffel is a MRAP infantry mobility vehicle used by the South African Defence Force during the South African Border War. During the Border War, Anti-tank mines was one of the primary threat vectors so Unimog S trucks were modified to the Bosvark standard. These vehicles had limited small arms protection so a new armored driver's cab and separate armored troop compartment was placed on the Unimog chassis to become Buffel. To counter mine attack Buffel has a e V-shaped hull to deflect mine blast. These were used by most light infantry formations that fought in the Border Wars to provide motorization. These Buffel were issued for operation, from unit vehicle pools or from a different unit. These were replaced by Mamba APCs.
