Well when the 6th & 7th Kongo Expeditionary Brigades are complete they will look like a more mechanized version of the Dutch Marines- who are designed for DEI fighting, with matched LMG/Rifle cartridges and decent numbers of SMGs, and spiffy new uniforms to beat the heat.

Overall I am guessing the Danes field the best range to meet Siam's needs. The Dutch buy to much from elsewhere, including Denmark, to really compete on land armanants. Though the LT-35 tank is fairly well armed & armored for the mid-1930s, basically a Souma S-35 with a bigger turret.

Feel free to browse the Belgian Army post as they will sell anything to virtually anyone and sell a wide variety of gear. Belgian Equipment


A part of the Siamese technical mission sent to Holland heads to Belgian to see what they have to offer.

Another section heads to Denmark, and yet another section heads to Brno, Czechoslovakia to negotiate with Skoda.

Mexico can offer the new semi-auto rifle based on the Mondragon and the Mendoza 34 SMG. Both are 7/57, and are available at the time (but not cheaply).

An SMG in 7mm x 57????? That's not an SMG, that's an LMG!
