I was only talking of T2K, at least 10 years before that date. By 1989-1991, few western armies had fully cross the line and in the middle of the war, I doubt that they would cross it (It seems that outside Scandinavia, Canada is a serious exception). If you play v.1, it's even less plausible.

IMO most fighting women would be in that position because they were there to fill in the depleted ranks. You could have had some women in combat at the time of T2K but not that many.

The reason, I have Warsaw Pact or IDF acting the other way is simply because they had done so in the past.

One last thing, about Germany, it seems that they effectively think that it is a bad idea. They indeed allowed women into combat role after 2001 but only after a ruling by the European Court of Justice. Not really a voluntary posture.

And this idea doesn't reflect my opinion on women capabilities.
