I have all but one national type using one style of weapons for their
first line units (Well, I dropped the HEL equipped Imperial Japanese
Kingdom.)  

The low tech troublemakers - PHR: Christian Communists - use
HMW/Tracked-HVC/RFAC;  Not necessarily by choice.

The others use:
 
GEV/MDC (NEA - small FSE backed independents,) 
GEV/DFFG (IC - the big player in the system,) 
GEV/GMS (NPC - NAC backed [very] independent,) 
GEV-Tracked/HKP (RH in a 'third tier' - back water - colony situation,) 
The PHR above which has the largest forces on the planet numbers wise
(political-religious dissidents dumped on a 'penal colony' basis from
IC/ESU/Japan origins,) 
and the GEV-SLAM equipped LLAR [allied with the NPC because it is a low
importance LLAR colony and they are not appreciated by the NEA, PHR and
IC groups {who don't have a lot of love for the NPC either, especially
the PHR and NEA.}]  

Actually the PHR doesn't like anybody else...

The UNSC presence  is GRAV/MDC equipped but at this point I have nothing
on the shelves for DS 2 and only a fragment of a platoon for SG 2.

IC and NPC have interstellar ships stationed in the system (2 planets
and
a large moon.)

I have a draft for a Great Bear State (think someone else pre-empted the
title though, sigh) force where weapon technology is multi-faceted -
GRAV/MDC or GEV/HKP abetted by GEV/DFFG, some GEV/SLAMs infantry support
vehicles and a few GMS vehicles.  A confederated group that arose out of
a balkanized planet where the GBS sits on a Australia/US-Canada-Mexico
sized continent  where each 'State' provides certain technological
equipped units optimized for their terrain (in their opinion.)	But that
has not seen work for many a moon... since it is not a part of the Cotu
system.

Supply is a nightmare off planet...

Gracias,
Glenn
