Since there was a very close Cooperation between the Dutch and German Army (Fennek, Leopard 1/2, Boxer, Fuchs, Gepard/Cheetah, Bo-105 ) and their was interest in the Marder 2 by the dutch armed forces in the late 80s/early 90s according to two Rheinmetall/KMW sources, i thought it would be a more logical choice than the CV-90 in a scenarion where the soviet union still exists.
Also the Marder 2 was coming with the Rheinmetall 35/50mm RH503 Cannon, which was going to be one of the contenders of a new NATO Standard for autocannons. The CV-90 had no such integration in the 90s. The Marder 2 was also designed to work with the Leopard 1 and 2 which would be a Plus for the Landmacht.
OK. Mayby add the CV-90 series as a alternative choice.
The Commandotroepenbataljon is representing the 305 Commandotroepenbataljon which was part of the Territorial Forces until the 90s.
The 305 Bataljon was equipped with Old equipment and thats the reason why i chose NATRES to represent these. My source here was orbat85.nl
According to what ive read the modern KCT was born from the 104 Waarnemings- en verkenningscompagnie.
I will improve the Commandotroepenbataljon and its units and i will include the KCT soon but for now this is a workaround.
The UGL will be also included soon
The 305 Cdobat is begin eighties reëquipped with UZI, FAL etc.
The Territorial Forces and NATRES was for a part from end seventies reëquipped with UZI, FAL etc. This depend on location.
