BTW, these are for Soviet divisions. The non-Soviet Warsaw Pact troops had various differences... Bulgarians had MTLBs, some with BMP-1 turrets, instead of BMPs and some BTRs. Polish T-55 regiments had 5 16-tank companies with no battalions. Most Czech divisions had 2 BMP regiments. Hungary abandoned divisions in 1987 and went with a bde/corps structure, abolishing mobilization-only units (I brought them back as divisions as a result of the Black Winter). Non-Soviet nations' equipment was frequently older, even pre-war at times, although often when a nation produced items under license it was issued in greater quantity than in a comparable Soviet unit (such as divisions with 2S1 122mm howitzers in all 4 "teeth" regiments instead of just the tank and BMP regiments.

I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed, for 12 hours. When it was all over, I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' body. The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smelled like... victory. Someday this war's gonna end...
