If gaming in Columbus, GA, or at Ft. Benning, I am ready. 2 1/2 hours to get there.
If you are referring to the former USSR member? No.
T-72, BMP-1 and -2 are safe bets.

Nice wish I lived in Georgia so we could game!!! I was actually thinking about the War in the Republic of Georgia. Anyway I think I will give it a try and use the Russian stuff t-72, 65, 90. For infantry will go with modern Russians and third world regulars I guess. Thanks all!!!

It also depends on the level at which you wish to game. At tactical level, you could use the many pictures of the war t-o determine what equipment to use. The RFAF used mostly older Soviet stuff, T72s, BMP2s, BTR70s & 80s, ASU 1222 & 152, Shilkas, Hinds... the MBT of their opponents was also the T72, and APCs were also old Soviet vehicles.
At a higher level, the RFAF force was the 58th Army, made as follows in 2013
Much less clear on the Georgian side : 3rd & 4th Brigade at Tshinkvali, some SF. Pending some historical research on the conflict, material is very flimsy.
