Don,
Thank you! Concerning launcher install dates and Grenade types...Sweden we know at least for the STRV-122/122B. The CV90 types should be cut and dry as well. And I don't think the others should be that difficult based on GALIX availability date vs armor availability dates for the units in question with the possible exception of the Italian ARIETE. And the other issue for the other countries did they go the same route as the Swedes in choice of grenades? Again except for the STRV-122/122B I can't confirm the use of those grenade type(s) on any other platform to include the Swedish CV90 types. Launcher verification installation is again I think easily done though.

Also I've sat on this issue for awhile concerning the reorganization of Dutch artillery units that occurred this past January 2013. I need to get it to you now so you have the lead time if needed to act on this. The ref is straight from the Dutch MOD.

These might be of some interest for game developers, though if you've paid attention over the last two years you'll have figured out these are pre May 2011 and then (-) the LEOs, pre Jan 2013. Don't wait too long though, they might actually decide to update the site!?!

Note CV90-35NL ratio to the YPR-765 (M-113) should have increased over the last couple of years. If the time table holds the YPR-765 should be fully phased out by the end of this year. I'll wait for MOD to make that announcement before I take any action on it.

Gotta hit the rack!!

Regards,
Pat
