Hrmmm… Mortar and AT rifle. In 1942? I thought AT rifles were obsolete about the time the Pz3 was introduced? |

Lion-- nope. The Soviets used AT rifles throughout the war, often in platoon strength, if I remember correctly. They kind of operated on the "hit it enough and you'll damage SOMETHING" theory. |
