8cm mortars

[TMO]

Take a look at:

http://www.bayonetstrength.150m.com/German/german_parachute_battalion.htm

In the game Fallshirmjaeger 8cm mortars are modelled as coys (check Joe's Bridge) when they should be modelled as pls. Also the currently modelled 5cm leGrW 36 should be replaced by the 8cm GrW 42 from early '44.

good catch Tim, as usual.[;)]
I've replaced the 5cm mortar with the short barreled 8cm mortar that the FJ used. This will seed the BFTB FJ forces that had the 5cm with the 8cm short barrel. The only other force that had the 5cm was an infantry coy from the FBB. The 5cm were simply removed from that force.

I could replace the 8cm Bn mortar Coy with the platoon but the Coy is already reduced to 40-50% strength so it's almost not worth the effort. Although the game shows 12 mortars, it should show more like 5... there is a bug that we are working on to calculate the correct reduction between the SM and the game.

This edit will be included in the final patch for both BFTB and HTTR.
