I posted this link to the ML site in response to someone's question. I thought some of you modern armor folks might like it. http://www.irwin.army.mil/11acr/rotation/vehicleID.htm
Among the links are OPFOR M1 Abrams tanks, M-551s and HMMWVs made to look like Soviet-style vehicles. The interesting one is the OSV or OPFOR Surrogate Vehicle. It is a purpose built M113 variant that serves as an OPFOR vehicle. Basing the chassis on an M113 makes it easier to maintain. The Sheridans are fast running out of parts, even with cannibilization.

Works fine for me, but try going to the www.irwin.army.mil home page, then navigate to the units, chose 11th ACR then chose Rotational Unit Resources. Try this link too: http://www.irwin.army.mil/11acr/default.htm
