Ok can i add a couple? US Cops, some NYPD and some Sheriffs in campaign hats. Deffo for the US Army in clean helmets and also the Ridgeway pill box caps. Some East German Grenzers in peaked caps as well as the Russian guards and finaly some French Foreign Legion in M47 fatigues and kepis with maas rifles and Mat 49 SMG's.

Another thought is for some South American/Banana republic type revolutionary's

Jim, I have a suggestion. Mike Broadbent seems rather taken with Vietnam at the moment, I believe he did the recent additions to the Eureka range without any bidding and his Vietnam Australians are some of his best work. As Nic does a lot of business with the US via his US agent maybe working on him and Mike in tandem might succeed. I'm sure there are quite a few American gamers who would appreciate Marines with M-14s. Nobody does them and it's an obvious gap to fill. Would make a nice change too.

Helen is a good friend of Mike B so maybe she would forward the suggestion.

Well there's certainly enough pics knocking around of the Marines landing at Danang in 1965 for inspiration. Nobody does the early part of Vietnam and I'd like to think there must be some people out there who'd like to game it. M14 fire teams with BARs as SAWs and support units with M60s and M20 Bazookas would really work for me, along with the odd 'M3 Greasegun' for the special forces types. Ok the Marines caps wouldn't pass for army, but it wouldn't be difficult to have head options?

With those and an M56 Scorpion, my wish list for US forces for the 'Cuban Missile War' becomes reality! 

Another thought is for some South American/Banana republic type revolutionary's
armed with AK's and machetes.

They'd be more likely to have SKS and PPSH's, civilian hunting rifles, FN FAL rifles, M1 Carbines or Garands for the 60s, but I'd live with AKs.
