Clearly Frank Frey is saying that an AFV is a tank
he makes the designation repeatedly - and he wrote the RDF as well
so that should put to rest that an AFV - for Kings Ransom and the RDF at this point as written which means they are canon as written - is a tank
that means the US Army from June of 2000 to January of 2001 received at least 35 tanks if not more to make up for any losses in that period
you can disagree if you like - but if you do then you need to treat the RDF and Kings Ransom as non-canon for saying that the US got a reinforcement of tanks - he clearly means tank with all the refernces to AFV's as tanks in Kings Ransom
not trying to force this down anyone's throat - either you believe what Frank wrote or you have to say that the module isnt canon
there arent many other choices - its one thing if he said it once - but he said it over and over and over
