They look good.  I commanded a cav troop in 3/107 ACR in the Ohio Army National Guard in the early 90s.  Need 2 more M109s for the arty battery, and a pair of m106s for each troop.  But looking good!

Thank you CapnJim.
That's an honor for me that someone who served in the real Cavalry gives me a comment. Thank you Sir.
Unfortunately I have only 4 models of the M109, but you can play modern FoW with two sections.
I play the M113 you see in the picture as M 106, because the Minifigs models aren't so good.

My pleasure.  I read your blog (I understand enough German to figure it out... ;)). (Edit:  The only One) thing I think TY got wrong was the consolidated M106 platoon for each AC squadron.  It was actually 3 separate  M106 sections, one per AC troop.  They were organic to each troop, and were the troop commander's own arty.
