Adapting to FL's stuff: how to incorporate Sweden?

[Raellus]

1. Anyone have OBs for Swedish brigades I don't seem to have any.

This was put together by a wargamer. I don't know what sources he based it on, but it sure looks nice.

2. Since the Soviet divisions are Category 2 or lower, I'm thinking their tanks and other heavy stuff won't be the most modern. Someone told me (on Facebook, I think) that Soviet amphibious lift could only handle T-55s.

I don't think that's true. Soviet Naval Infantry regimental ORBATs list T-55s and T-72s for their tank battalions as far back as the mid-1980s (I was just looking at Osprey's Warsaw Pact Elite Forces last night). Also, I've seen plenty of photos of T-72s unloading from Zubr and Aist-class assault LCACs.

Keep in mind that, according to Soviet operational doctrine, the Naval Infantry were only really supposed to seize the beachhead for heavier follow on forces (from the army).

Soviet RORO ships (or equivalent) were intended to deliver heavy units (motor rifles and tank) divisions once a suitable harbor/port had been secured by the "marines". Those civilian merchant vessels could carry anything in the Soviet arsenal, so don't let your equipment choices be limited by shipping capabilities.

THat's kind of what I thought. Since they are lower-readiness divisions, I might still stick 'em with T-62s for uniformity.
