The Sicherungs and Landwehr formations are especially interesting since in a WP vs NATO conflict with austrian involvement much would fall upon the shoulders of the territorial units. That's what I remember from austrian doctrine of those times at least.

you are certainly right. the problem is that WINSPMT does not model the core of austrian defense very well - obstacles and mines. basically vehicles will just continue to drive over a mined area.
reg. SICHERUNGSKOMPANIE (security/fortress defense)
These units are (were) not composed of inferior troops, rather they are chosen by their close proximity to their mob location and their low chance of future relocation - hence they are mostly local farm boys. Mobilisation for these units is very fast. Under a state of pre-warning, core border units could be manned in a matter of hours, 12 at the max.
There are two main types of these units. One, the 'fortress bound' units manned and supported the over 60 individual fortress positions. Second, the 'object' orientated units (usually platoon sized elements) that were basically light infantry set to gaurd bridges and other critical infrastructure.
i have a bit of a beef with the inacuacy of some of the fortress guns, but then again i have a major beef with the fact that a stg-77 (steyer aug) is exactly as inefficent as an ak47
