For US convoys in Vietnam, will the WWII 2 1/2 truck A20 suffice: it certainly looks right?

Any suggestions for VC vehicles for the Ho Chi Minh Trail, aside from the porters?

A20 would do as a proxy could even use it for the other side (captured from the French) along with any Russian truck, you'd probably get away with the British Bedford 3 tonner.

M35 is a bit more rectangular, and sonmewhat bigger, but I'd certainly not object. Frence certainly did use the Duce and 1/2.

I think A20 for US trucks would be fine...

As for VC - how about:

Japanese cyclists [JP24]
Samurai - peasant with improvised weapon [SAM11] - have a look here: http://www.pendraken.co.uk/SAM11-p2943/
Vietnamese civilians [VM30]
Water buffalo [VM31]
The occasional Russian truck? [SV38 = 2.5 ton truck, SV52 ZIS6 truck]
Pack mules? [AC21 -pack mules, NW11 Pack mule with mountain gun, NW12 Pack mule with Maxim]
