It was pretty much a "get out the door and hope someone buys it" product. Which would make sense if it was released under FASA, but it was not. The other explanation that comes to mind, is they wanted to get it out before rewriting all the rules in the TW series, which again, doesn't make sense, because later, they released Combat Equipment, which had rules for constructing infantry platoons, and the first write up of "support vehicles". So yeah, chalk this book up to greed, wanting to make money on unsuspecting customers off an unfinished product. Yepper. It was pretty much a “get out the door and hope someone buys it” product.
