hi, as the title says. Suggestions are very welcome. As I use the British Airborne as Congo Mercenaries I wanted to have some different ideas. |

Maybe some French for Indochina? |

I saw US WW2 Airborne being used for Koreans in Vietnam…no idea how valid that is, but they looked good. |

I was going to say you can probably stick them in any US friendly Asian country. |

Tough to use as French--the jump uniforms don't really look like the French TAP uniforms, but I suppose if you painted them. Other big problem is the weapons. No MAT-49s or MAS-36 carbines. |

the French used a lot of US equipment. The early olive green TAP uniforms are very similar to the US M43 uniform. They also used M1 Garands and M1 Carbines. So I don't see a big problem. |

SMERSH mooks in disguise for infiltration. Only a crack secret agent might identify them by their old-fashioned kit. |

Generic banana republic government troops? |
