There are a few AFVs that probably would have been in Swedish service during the 4e Twilight War that, for whatever reasons (probably space and equity) weren't included in the Players Manual or subsequent official supplements. I won't bore you by listing them all here, but the Tank Encyclopedia website has information on the omitted vehicles.

IRL, during the mid-1990s, Sweden purchased 350 ex-DDR BMP-1s for use by the Swedish Army. Ultimately, they proved ill-suited to service in snow, and were transferred to Czechia. IIRC, from there, they were donated to Ukraine. There's enough overlap between IRL Sweden's acquisition of those BMP-1s in the mid-1990s and the 4e timeline to assume that these BMP-1s were in Swedish inventories when the Twilight War started.

More significantly, Sweden also acquired over 600 ex-DDR MT-LB armored tractors which were modified to Swedish military standards and actually saw active duty service in the Swedish army. Again, one could make a good argument that these MTLBs, known as the Pbv 401 in Swedish service, would have seen action during the Twilight War.

Actually, I'm more sad that things like the Ikv 91 and the like weren't included. I mean, the Ikv 91 was being taken out of service around 1990-2000, but some would still have been in service (and likely been reactivated if war broke out).

I agree. I hope that FL produces an illustrated Vehicle and Weapons guide for 4e- if they do, the Ikv 91 should definitely be included.
