Re: Molotov price
 

Factory made 'improvised' anti-tank weapons. I like it but it takes some of the enjoyment out of making 'empty' bottles. I think that should support a cheaper / more common Molotov for the Finnish.
The trick is quantity, the more bottles thrown, the better.

Molotov Cocktail was one of the few anti-tank weapons that Finns could mass produce at the time. Though there was also a production line for lisence-built 37 mm Bofors anti-tank guns, but that had a rather limited capacity.

As for the availability, if you check the OOBs, the Finnish rifle platoons tend to be moderately well-stocked with Molotov Cocktails and satchel charges.

If I rember correctly not surprising as they did use a scorced earth policy, wouldnot be surprised with the severity of the winter if denying the Russians cover from the elements caused as many casulties as the actual fighting.
