Better to simply flesh out what exists, with much of the equipment drawn from obsolete stores (L1A1's, M60s, M113, etc). Only the regular units (most of 1st Division) and some parts of the reserve would have modern equipment (Leopard I, F88 Steyr AUG, MAG 58, Minimi, LAV-25).
My understanding is that there is bugger all in the way of 'obsolete stores' any more ... and probably wasn't back in the mid to late 90's either ... cost cutting and all that. Of course, I don't exactly have inside sources, so that could be wildly wrong.
