I've done several WW2 and Vietnam campaigns so I will try to attach some of the gear info I use.

The Word docs are US WW2 equipment info. I use excel spreadsheets for my character sheets and equipment lists. I pulled gear sheets for US and German WW2 out and put them in one file. I also included the inventory sheets I use for US WW2, German WW2, and Vietnam because those might have extra items. There is also a Soviet inventory sheet that I used when I created an OPFOR sniper and commissar for a Stalingrad campaign, but Russian gear info is hard to find so I don't have much for that.

The US equipment weights are in pounds and ounces. The German and Soviet info is in kilos.

I use the 2013 system for weapons. I don't know if any of that would benefit you, so I left it out. I pretty much use standard 2013 character generation, but I reduce the education requirement to enter the military and rads don't apply. Some skills (like Computer) don't really apply in WW2 either.

For my US WW2 campaigns I usually follow the after action report for whatever unit I am portraying. German WW2 is tougher because I have less detailed info.

For Vietnam I use fictional units, but most of the USMC command chronologies (AAR) are available online. I just used Google maps when planning out the missions and firebase locations. I recently found the 1:50,000 maps (circa 1965) online, so I will be using those next time.

I have quite a bit of historical background and TO&E info, so if any of that would interest you let me know.
