French OOB
 
Does anyone know if the French exported all unit 203 AMX-30 DCA to Saudi Arabia OOB 64?

If not might be worth adding to French OOB as it gives them radar AA capability

I think only 60 or so were produced in total so may just have been export exept production seemed to start around 1969.
So possibly France had from 1970 to guessing late 80s

Different Icon, same unit

Yep I just found that out myself, would suggest reviewing start date & putting back 2 years.
Also ammo load out is wrong for one of them Saudi Unit has nearly double.
Saudi unit also has considerably heavier armour ratings

Yeah I have no idea where the 19 came from.... probably a cut and paste interruption

Ah ! no... ones an AMX-13 and the other AMX-30. Two different beasts. I've put it on the list to sort out. Right now I'm dealing with things 60 years before that. I'll fix the photo too

Don't know how you guys find the time, the real nightmare is its rarely cut & dried normally you look at one thing & it raises other questions.

TELL ME ABOUT IT ....:D


I started out yesterday looking for "a few new photos" for naval units in WW2 and ended up going over nearly every unit and formation and finding ( a couple, not a lot ) errors that had been in there for over a decade ...... that used up half a day and brought me back 45 years to a time when WW2 naval ships were what I lived and breathed for about a year. I had forgotten what a beautiful beast the Yamato was

Okay that sort of ties with my dates.

Formations 23 & 602 VAB infantry Company only have 3 platoons I think they should have 4

Earlier VAB formations have 4 platoons as do all the other infantry formations I checked from about 4 years previously to present

Sorry its in dribs & drabs

Formation 132 UAV is in artillery screen, would be nice to move to Misc as most are & spotter plane formation is there.
As a note cant see reason for both UAVs unless its completeness or an error they are identical apart from start dates

Unit 597 FOO is missing his rifle
