Is it possible to import or merge estab data? If one modder creates a really good set of Russia tanks, for example, how is another modder able to use these with his really good Russia infantry, without recreating them manually in his estab editor?

Someone from the developer will have to give you a definitive answer to your question, but the "Estab Manager" appears to support such a function. However, it looks like an "all or nothing" deal as regards the import, as the import appear to be limited by category. One comment that I'd make in regard to using something like this is, "be careful." You don't want to overwrite/destroy valuable work of your own for the sake of some tank data.

maybe combine them at the xml level?

yep that's the way to do it.[:)]
