Hi all,

I've done up some equipment lists for Austrian Bundesheer, Royal Danish Army, and USMC to use for our CWC games at the local club. I've also edited the French and VDV lists, as there were several key bits of kit missing and some dates were a little out of whack. Quite a bit of research has gone into these from various sources, so let me know if you notice any glaring errors.

Anyway, here are the links if you're interested. Grin

Hi all,

Thanks for the comments. I just realised that the version of the VDV list I uploaded had incorrect costing for the BTR-ZD.

The link to the correct one is :

I'm working my way through the NATO lists trying to break them down by country. I've almost finished the Canadians and the Belgians, and will upload these as I get them finished.

Just had a look at the Danish list and it look really good.

One slight thing though. Garderhussars and Livgarden really should be regulars. Although it pains me to say it as an old Royal Lifeguard. They really are like all other regiments. The only real elites in the Danish army are the Jaegers and the frogmen(the danish equivalent of navy seals)

Thanks Dr.Zombie, I really appreciate the input. It's this kind of first-hand experience that is invaluable. I've updated the list and reuploaded it, so now the Garderhussars and Livgarden are classed as regulars.

Great lists Ben

Was wondering on your thoughts on US 9th Infantry during their Motorised Infantry phase (pre-89).
Using the early HMMVWs in CAB-H & CAB-L Battalions and the FAV's in the LA Battalion.

Looking at the FAV's there are no good comparison stats I can see in other lists - for speed and ability in terrain or difficulty to hit (so probably a small vehicle +1 to hit). Not sure what speed we'd be looking at 30 seems tame for these babies Grin

Also - the Mk-19 AGL looks tasty

Looking at the Orbats for the 9th there also appear to be a number of M60A3s but finding them in the formation descriptions is proving difficult.

Also the 9th appear to have HUMMWV's with pedestal mounted Stingers as well - your thoughts on those from a points perspective would be appreciated.

Many thanks (in anticipation)
