Fallout Re: Greek OOB error and some omissions

I haven't had a chance to look in the OOB but it appears the LEO 2A4 tanks are still in service (Along with some others.) if this site is good...

On the M113 issue a little news from about 3 weeks ago...

It seems the M3 Halftrack served with the Greek Army until sometime after the Cold War-this I find interesting.

AMX-30 is still around in the upgraded form (Still in the reverves I believe, but on the way out.) of the AMX-30B2. This tank was a topic of discussion as I recall last year due to issues brought up that I believe were corrected in the last patch. Don't remember the issue but, I don't believe it concerned the Greeks either. But the following is a good "general" place to start when talking countries and land equipment...

Finally a site I've held onto if for no other reason than to look into the "banter" between the Greeks and Turks on the site. However I did find it very useful in pointing me in the right direction concerning the Turkish units I submitted two and three years ago. I believe the ref will point to a page I used as a "map" at the time.

I see now the site has been taken over the dirty rotten #+~%@*^s anyway I did/still have an account setup anyway, like here without it at the time you still had read privilages. Anyway worth it if you have an interest in that part of the world.

Just checked SIPRI.org oldest order they show from U.S. to Greece was for 20 M8 GREYHOUNDs ordered in 1949 and delivered between 1950-1951. So M3 after WWII.
