How would you play these on the table?

I think the “Unknown Componant” with the “Co-axal” is the gun for the Zippo turret AKA a flamethrower. I may be wrong as I am trying to remember the sprue I got for the Vietnam M113. Yet another great unboxing guys!
Don’t worry about the “unknown components” guys lol. The M113 has been in service around the world for over 50 years and when Battlefront first released the plastic kit to field in FOW Vietnam and then later FOW AIW… and now again for Team Yankee… and who knows what for the future, they had to “future proof” the sprues for all of the dozens of variations used around the world. Hence why it has so many options.
I am surprised no-one mentioned the M981 FISTV which was deliberately built to resemble the M901. M981 FISTV is the artillery spotter for US INfantry companies – they had laser rangefinders and designators so they could guide smart bombs and Copperhead laser guided rounds on to targets like individual tanks. A lot of the odd parts John looked at are for the Vietnam ACAV type variants. Some of the other bits relate to the M106 mortar carrier variant.

Ah… the majestic ground BRRRT!
interesting how they updated the 113 to stay in service.
This may seem a daft (and even stupid) question, but do the models come with an assembly instruction sheet?
I am new to FOW / Team Yankee models, and the reason I ask is that on the models I have seen unboxed no one has yet either shown such a sheet or even referred to one.
If not, there is a code on the box. If you go to the Flames of War website and search for the code, it will bring up a page showing you assembly instructions, colour coded spruces etc.
@cypher2009 – Thanks for the info, appreciated. 🙂
