That's the one, yes.

Funnily enough, we don't get many Ikv-91s in this neck of the woods. Nor
M-84s
for that matter. Now Type 59s, 69-Is, 69-IIs etc are a different matter.

Concur. It was so much easier when square-turret = ours, round = theirs.

True-ish. BMD, BMP are fairly standard, (though how many know that the D
is
for Desantya <sp?>).

One thing that's almost vaguely on-topic: the design for the Combine
Light Tank
for OGRE is very reminiscent of the good old S tank. Or at least, the
few rare
ones I have are. But then again, so's the old GW plastic Eldar Falcon.
