Vietnamese Catalogue 1965-1972 Confusion

[Urbinoprince]

In the catalog which catalogue numkbers are the peasant VC and which ones are the NVA? Did I overlook the ARVN? montagnards?
In the Indochinese, woud anyone use them, if so which ones, as South Vietnamese Regional Forces? VC and NVA?   ARVN? montagnards?
Are there any civilians? Water Buffalo?

Any assistance or sugestions would be most welcome to a newbie!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Gordon 

Urbinoprince -I've used most of the Indo-China & Vietnam codes in my SE Asia forces:

Viet Cong: http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php/topic,112.0.html

NVA: http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php/topic,114.0.html

Civilians & water buffalo are in the Indo-China range: http://pendraken.co.uk/Post-War-c20/Indo-China-sc135/

I've used some as Tong in my Pulp Cultists too: http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php/topic,2646.0.html

Nik can you remember what codes you used for your VC- I want to make them look quite different from the NVA.  I get that its the Indochina dudes but there's quite a selection. I was thinking would VM2, 3, 5, 7, 8 and 9 work or is there any definitely to avoid.

Also Leon any chance of more civilians for Vietnam?

Sorry mate - these were done before I was a disciplined-OCD-mofo and wrote everything down...

Funnily enough, it was a slew of questions about my Vietnam stuff & codes used that prompted me to become a disciplined-OCD-mofo...back in May 2007

Just out of interest, what are the water-buffalo armed with?

I've got lots of pictures of the Pendraken Vietnam stuff on my blog at http://dereksweetoys.com/?cat=17

In many cases the pics are captioned with figure codes.  Hope this helps.

Awesome. Cheers Derek.

Right any views on these figures for generic 'cliched' looking VC types.

For rifle men- VM2 Tu Ve, rifle, shorts, hat, running.   VM3 Tu Ve, rifle, scarf, bareheaded, walking . VM5 Bo Dai Phuong, Thompson SMG, bush hat 

LMGs- VM11 Regional/Tu Ve LMG, prone, Vz 30 (Czech) VC10 LMG, Vz 30, kneeling, bush hat

Mortars- VM13 Regional/Tu Ve light mortar, 50mm type

Does this sound about right?
