Both countries still would have had them in reserve in Version 1 of the timeline - i.e. where the Cold War continued - they only got rid of them out of their reserves because of the draw down that occurred post 1989 with the reduction in force treaty

That draw down by the way is what would have given the Mexicans the ability to buy the AMX-VCI that they used in real life

So again its timeline

V1 timeline - M44's to buy for sure from both countries as well as M75's from Belguim

V2.2 timeline which includes the drawdown that occurred after the reduction in force treaty of 1989 - no longer in reserves and scrapped or sold off

So if you want a V1 Mexican Army they have M44's and possibly M75's that they could have bought for sure if the decision to do so was early 90's

If you want a V2.2 Mexican Army then they have AMX-VCI and older M109's and M108's and BDX available

The information on M44's and M75's in storage comes from the NATO 1989 OOB sites FYI - that show what NATO had on hand prior to the reduction of force treaty including reserve war
stocks

FYI - RN7 or anyone else for that matter - do you know if the info on those NATO 1989 sites for OOB is correct?
