This is a nice little SPG. The M30 mortar can reach out and touch enemy infantry up to 4 feet away, and it stands a fair chance of killing it even if in cover with its decent 4+ Firepower rating. The AT value is only 2 though, so you are not going to be knocking out tanks with this thing unless it is open topped and your opponent rolls really poorly. They also have the ability to do a smoke bombardment, which combined with excellent allied optics, can give your forces a big advantage. Use smoke to force the Soviet Tanks to engage on your terms, not theirs.

The M106 has the same front and side armor as every other M113 based vehicle, but it has a top armor of 0 because of the massive hole cut in the top for the M30 Mortar to fire out of.

A section of 3 will cost you 3 points, and 6 for 6. 

An excellent utility (smoke and pinning) artillery. Consider the M109 for killing artillery instead.

The Panzermörser (pronounced Pahnzermerser if you’re American) takes the affordability and utility of the M106 and bumps up the firepower a little.

With AT 3 and FP 3+, you won't be knocking out hordes of BMPs and tanks. However, 3+ firepower makes a huge difference when you are using these to kill soft skins instead of popping smoke. Used against infantry, expect to pin them down and cause a respectable amount of casualties in the process. It may not match the M109 in the anti-armour role, but is more than capable of hurting units with top armour 0 like the [[BTR-60]] and enemy artillery or anti-air missiles.

A section of 3 will cost you 3 points, and 6 for 6.

An excellent utility (smoke and pinning) artillery. Unlike the US version, bringing a 120mm mortar is perfectly functional as killing artillery.

3+ skill is less important for support units, but you may expect to use shoot-and-scoot orders to keep firing while moving.

The Dutch have two variants of the M113 mortar carrier, one with a 107mm mortar and another with 120mm mortars. 

Serving as utility artillery in a Dutch army, the main purpose of the mortar is to suppress infantry and pop smoke. They might be able to splash infantry in the open very well, but they excel when used to fill whatever the situation needs at the moment. Enemy infantry rushing your objective? Pin them down. Friendly infantry advancing in the open? Cover their advance with smoke bombardments. Enemy BM-21s in sight? Your mortars can tear them a new one. 

Like the German counterpart, the 120mm is fully capable of acting as killing artillery if needed: AT3 may be poor, but it is enough when fired at BTRs. On the other hand, 3+ Firepower means that when fired against entrenched infantry, they can actually do pretty well.

The 107mm suffers in this regard, and is very incapable of punching through vehicles. Use it strictly as utility artillery.

The 120mm may only be purchased in a Pantserinfanterie Compagnie in a platoon of 2 or 3 for 1 point per vehicle. However, as nearly every Dutch player takes this infantry formation due to its excellent transports, 120mm mortar carriers are plentiful on the table. 

107mms can only be purchased in the Verkennings (recon) squadron at 2 points for 3. This alone makes them rare, as the recon squadron is much less popular than the Pantserinfanterie Compagnie. 

If you think that artillery's job is to kill things instead of shit like smoke and tactics, consider the M109 instead.

The M106 is the fatter, deadlier son of the [[M125 81mm]] that bumps up the caliber to a 120mm shell (the IDF upgraded the standard 107mm US mortar to a more destructive, and more readily available, 120mm version). While AT3 and FP3+ might not be strong enough to really threaten BMPs and tanks, it has a good chance of punching through soft-skinned vehicles like BTR-60s, Danas and BM-21s. Whether you take this unit depends on your list: the M106 might just be a more expensive utility mortar or a weaker M109 that can't kill things.
