So I finally got to dig in to this set, a little.
The game, despite the highly detailed board wargames GDW had done before, is fairly sparse. I can't help but think that perhaps they were looking to do add-on modules at a later date but didn't get around to it. There's aircraft included - but only in the case of a module for Free City of Krakow (the Mi-17, and it alone). The number of vehicles is fairly limited as well, although there's worksheets for statting up your own.
One of the most immediate "WTF" moments is in a battle designed around "Armies of the Night"; the introductory text for the scenario says "New York was struck by two nuclear weapons..."
Maybe the consideration was that whomever bought The Last Battle wouldn't be that deep into T2k lore, but the game itself practically demands it in all other aspects. So that's a pretty serious mistake.
Anyway, back to reading...
