German AT Riflegrenades
 

Hi All
I wonder if the various post nov 42 German rifle squads could be issued with the German At rifle grenade? currently this munition is restricted to pzVern. After all from
http://www.geocities.com/Augusta/817...faust8.htm#ggg
over 24 million AT rifle grenades were produced, and I can buy a German rifle squad with a panzerfaust of which only a seven million were produced but not with an AT rifle grenade.
If these weapons were added to slot 4 of the regular infantry squads, (or for that matter the regular ss squad or mountain troops etc) they could I guess have a balance of HE and AT allocated like the slot 4 panzerfaust has.
More specifically could the weapons 094 095 188 be issued to the 10 or so man infantry squads in place of 093 post nov42?
I think the rifle grenade is much more likely to be found in an infantry squad rather than in a dedicated tank hunter team. perhaps if these weapons were added to the infantry squads then maybe the 5 or so granatetruppen pzvern units could be removed?
Also I notice that the panzerhandgranate (weapon 232) has been included in the tank hunter teams again I think it would be more appropriate if this was issued to regular squads.
If you are buying a Batalion of maybe Regiment of infantry it becomes a bit expensive to buy a granatetruppen for each squad as a workaround for the absence of a AT rifle grenade in the regular squads, not to mention ending up with a bloated formation.
Best regards Chuck.

weapon 188 is already issued to a "10 or so man infantry squad". weapon 95 is issued to eight "10 or so man infantry squads". 94 is the only weapon on that list ( aside from 232 ) that is only issued to AT teams only.

I suppose a case could be made that there should be a few more line infantry units issued with the AT rifle grenade. I will put this on my to-do list to look into sometime in the future
