Hello Fellinger--

This was asked before in https://www.matrixgames.com/forums/view ... 5&t=405731

A question was asked of you (by me) and advice given to you by another TOAW scenario designer.

The data is out there, but you have to tighten your design objective in terms of which year you want to model and where the action will take place.

Cheers--

There were some pdfs with the OOB and TO&E for NATO and WP in 1989.
Searching on Google I found these 2 pages

For NATO

For Warsaw Pact

You might try looking at existing scenarios for OOB/TO&E references.

Chatgpt tends to hallucinate aka make up stuff, it can be good for some advice but its not to be over relied
