LG-1 Mk II
Notes: This French-made gun howitzer was not used by France, but was used by Belgium, Canada, Indonesia, Singapore, and Thailand, usually in light divisions or Marine divisions. It is a very light weapon, able to be towed by small vehicles, and fast to bring into action. It is otherwise a conventional weapon that is raised on a baseplate before firing.

M-101A1 Modernized
Notes: This is the US M-101A1 howitzer, which was getting long in the tooth, modernized by France. The key improvements are the replacement of the barrel with the same one as on the LG-1 Mk II, and improvement of the elevating and traversing gear. These howitzers are in use by the Philippines and Thailand, normally as upgrade kits supplied to the countries.

Model 50
Notes: This French howitzer was developed after World War 2 and used for a number of years in front line service before being relegated to reserve status. This howitzer was also used by Israel, but most of these were modified to be carried on the L-33 self-propelled howitzer. They were also used by Sweden, in reserve status before the war and front-line after the war intensified. They are also known to be used by Lebanon, the PLO, and Ecuador. They are short-barreled weapons with less range than newer pieces. Before firing, the weapon is raised on a baseplate.
Twilight 2000 Notes: In the Twilight War, they were returned from reserve status and used once again in front-line service, especially by the Foreign Legion, who likes their light weight.
