Always happy to get more OOBs and TOEs to draw from.

This is a must have book for BAOR, given the battalion level rotation system finding out which unit was where is 'annoying', this book is one of the (if not THE) most accurate source.

I've found a army "OTIS equipment handbook" dated Nov 1985, which suggests that OTIS was on issue to frontline forces late 85 or early 86 - might have to update scimitars and scorpions to include TI.
You can search for TAM P1 and P2, type "Tactical Aid Memoire", and look for links to
www.rgsinfo.net
The other big source is the "Staff officers handbook" but I've only found a 1999 online version at
