Thanks for the request, added to the lists!

I would love to see more of the figures in the catalogue or otherwise. If possible, I would consider adding the following:

1. Casualties in various positions
2. ARVN
3. Downed helicopter
4. Different types of helicopters
5. Green Beret
6. Australians
7. More poses or men dressed for the field
8. Firebases, w/ appropriate artillery, sandbag and bunkers
9. Peasants- male, female, adult and children in village and in field
10. VC-NLF types (as opposed to NVA)
11. Oxen, chickens, pigs
12. Montagnards   
13.
Great line as is...  8)

There are also civilians & other useable figures in the Indo-China range: http://www.pendraken.co.uk/Post-War-c20/Indo-China-sc135/

I've mixed in some of these into my VC forces for a bit more variety - again, pics here:

A downed helicopter could be easily sorted with a UH-1 and a hammer  :d

UH-1C Huey "Hog"

US bazooka teams?

Post by: Lord Kermit of Birkenhead on 01 April 2012, 07:21:30 AM
Bazooka - no 90mm RCL, almost always left in the fire base, tanks not being that comon for the NVA or VC.....

From what I've read RR were not generally  carried on patrol but if an assault on a fortified position or a city block  was planned then they were lugged along. Of course this neat division depended on actions being neatly divided into patrols or assaults and of course that was not the case.

For what it's worth, and on no real hard evidence, I kinda have the impression that you were much more likely to see Marines with RR than Army units.
Probably cause they were well hard and didn't notice the extra weight!
