Thanks for the information, B.T. It's nice having a German perspective in a discussion about the German army. I thought the bit about the Border Guard and Police units was especially enlightening and useful.
Personally, I much prefer the v1.0 timeline, since that was the version I grew up with. I have added some newer gear to my campaign since there were several developments in weaponry and equipment between the mid '80s when the game came out and '96, when the Twilight War kicked off. That's why I allow the G-36. I figure it was just coming into service, the G-11 having been issued in limited numbers but having been cancelled due to political/economic considerations. However, in my Twilight world, the G-3 and HK-33 were still more common than either the G-36 or the G-11.
