Just comparing the 4e and v1 box sets, the level of detail re unit designations, compositions, and locations are comparable.
I'd need to look up when the US and Soviet Vehicle guides came out, because those two books established unit info/location for pretty much the whole world.
AFAIK, WTO and NATO force dispositions in Central Europe weren't fully established until Going Home.
Honestly, I've only skimmed the info re US and Soviet Forces in Poland from 4e. I'd planned to start a campaign in Sweden, so I gave that area a lot more attention*. Honestly, a lot of those Sweden-based units (designations, locations, strengths, dispositions, etc.) didn't make a whole lot of sense, as written. That was probably coloring my thoughts when I wrote msg #3.

No that's totally fair. It's also entirely possible that what I see as being fairly rigorous on FL's part, you might view as being entirely lackluster.
I haven't dug too heavily/deeply into Sweden's units yet, at least not on the American/Swedish sides. On the Soviet side, things certainly seem possible at least, but Sweden was
absolutely not fleshed out as well in the 4e canon when compared to Poland. If it's helpful, here's my documentation regarding the Soviets, at least at the army/division level for 4e. I also have a tab showing v1 and v2 for comparison.
