Apparently the 70 vehicles includes some ASU-57, although I haven't been able to find out this splits down. Soviet TOE of the era would have ~31x BMD in a air assault battalion, and 31x ASU-57 in an airborne assault gun battalion, so 70 could be a battalion of each with a few "RHQ" vehicles- or was it two air assault battalions and one assault gun battery?

Sounds good Mark - thanks - and makes sense

There is some useful material in the CIA reading room on the Ogaden War.  For example this item about the Cuban forces:

Shouldn't the Ethiopian list get a plus on infiltration? I am thinking here of the noteworthy deep outflanking of the Marda Pass.

Agreed - good call - it should only apply post Cuban intervention and as long as a Soviet/Cuban adviser is commanding the Battlegroup.

Currently there is no intention to produce this list. The primary scope of the rules is pre-1990.

The current US list has been extended to cover both  Gulf Wars, and it should be possible to build a Stryker Brigade from that.

It'll be once the Korean War supplement has been released and we get onto the CWC Errata document.  Most of the army lists have been tweaked already at this end though, so if there's something in particular you'd like to see I can check it and send it through?

Hi Leon

If already done I would be interested in amended PDFs for British, West German, Soviet and Soviet VDV army lists.

No worries, those are mostly done so I'll get them finished off.  Can you shoot me an email about it and I'll get them sent over to you?
