Could use some help in this area.  I own some of the Eureka French Viet Minh, and would like to do a small project, but do not know all the various gaming sites (figures and resources) that might be out there. Of course the Indo site has a slew...but are there more?

This has been an interest of mine for quite some time, but there isn't a lot out there..

Luckily most of the vehicles used by the French were WWII leftovers, any company offering a decent range of WWII in 15mm should have most of what you need.

Figure wise, Eureka is the only source I am aware of in 15mm. Peter Pig WWII US Marines have that sorta "sloppy" French Indochina look, but you would need to do head swaps since the helmets are wrong, and for some reason the French didn't use many US weapons other than the Thompson SMG and the M1 Carbine so your choice is limited.

Its an interesting war with Jeep Raids, River Assaults, Para Drops, Commandos, Armored Trains, Amphibious Operations all done by understaffed units using bargain basement equipment. Almost any scenario were one side has some armor and the other doesn't could be easily adapted.

There are not a lot of books on this conflict (in English), if you read French you might be able to find some decent source material....
