HMG and Mortar Platoons (Early, Plastic)

Most Schützen battalions have a weak machinegun platoon in each company and a further company of two machine-gun platoons and a battery of six 8cm sGW34 schwere Granatwerfer
heavy mortars. However, some Panzer divisions have a full machine-gun platoon in each Schützenkompanie. These divisions place their mortar platoon in the battalion’s heavy company
instead.

Regardless of where in the battalion the mortars are found, their role is the same—they give the Schützen heavy firepower at their beck and call. When the infantry run into machine-guns, the mortars pin them down or blind them with smoke as the infantry assaults.
