This straightens out the ROF issue with the German 37mm Pak36 firing a HEAT stick-bomb.
Now the Pak 36 in 1943-1945 with the Stielgranate 41 is called 'Late'.
No changes to the Pak 36 prior to 1943 except it goes out of service in 3/43 while the "late" goes into service in 1/43.
(There would be some overlap.)
New gun file= Stielgranate 41 but if you added with my mod of the sdkfz251/10 you don't need to add it again.

Does PC allow for units outside their availability dates to be put in a battle? Often times equipment was used long after it had gone out of production or general service. For instance there were KV-2's on the Red Army OOB at Kursk in July 43 and I have a picture of a PzIIF in late 44 early 45 in Poland or Germany on the Eastern Front.

Could you do this in PC?

In CM you could do it by moving the battle date around and then moving it back. Whatever you put in the scenario for whatever date you had chosen then stayed in the battle when the date was changed again.

Good Hunting.

I think the scenario editor only checks the entry date. I don't believe the out of service date is checked. The out of service data is mostly for the random scenario or campaigns.
