Excellent work James!
My only correction is that the M917 "Westmorland" should be spelled "Westmoreland" if named after the late US Commander in Vietnam, William Westmoreland.
The Challenge magazine adventures in Ohio mention the use of the M42 Duster SPAA by (I think) Ohio NG or State troops.
I will agree that the Duster vehicles would be hopelessly obsolete by T2K, but once fast movers disappear, the 40mm would be very deadly in the fire support role or convoy defense role. I myself wouldn't mind one on call as an infantry commander.
Seeing a variety of twin and quad 50 vehicles and turrets in the hands of private collectors I can imagine these being the linchpin of larget town defenses in the post TDM era, but I don't think they would be common enough to include here. I could be wrong, though.
Great work!
