We all have a wish list of items we hope GHQ will offer but I've always wondered why there are no Vietnam ANZACs.
They'd be very useful for Africa, Borneo etc:

Yes. I'd love to have some GHQ ANZACs. And the existing U.S. troops are far too big and "linebacker-ish" to use for ARVN troops. I'd like some that are more appropriate.

Isn't ANZAC the Australian New Zealand Army Corps. I Don't think there were Kiwis in Vietnam, just Aussies. So you would be looking for Australian troops not ANZACs.

No. There were New Zealanders in Vietnam. NZ sent SAS units, some infantry, and an artillery battery, IIRC

Try using 20mm for the ARVN :)

Would I be correct in thinking Vietnam Anzacs would be good for British in Malaya etc. and SADF as well.

Yes, good for a lot of Commonwealth forces 60's/70's
