Any suggestions for recoiless rifles for both sides?

Also, what would be suitable models fo guns and crews for US Artillery to use in firebases?

I'd have a look at the Indo-China range & use those to be honest...unless you're looking at your figures with a microscope I think the French Paras & Viet Minh will be more than passable stand-ins, with a potential look at WW2 USMC Pacific as well for extra arty crew?  :)

Yep, probably best with the crew from the 4.2" mortar, either regular or Marine.

Doug made the point in another thread, and I see wisdom in it, that the Vietnam range badly needs to be finished.

In terms of artillery

1.  Soviet 130mm M46 - best piece of medium WP artillery ever..

2. M 102 105mm howitzer.

3. the Australian 105mm "Pack" howitzer
