OOB 35 Finland – some weapon confusion
 

I was having a quick look at the Finnish OOB before looking at making a scenario.
I noted 2 oddities that tend to be somewhat confusing:

In the Units table there is the following:
Unit no: #44
Name: 75mm M40 AT-Gun
Dates: 6/43 – 12/43

If this is the Finnish purchased German 7.5 cm Pak 40, should not the dates be 6/43 – 12/46.
Or have I mixed this with some other AT gun?

In the Weapons table and with various units there is this:
Weapon no: #93
Weapons name: M30 Rifle Gren
Looking at the various units with this weapon it has a date range of 1/37 – 12/46.

I am unsure what this rifle grenade is.
Is it the Dyakonov's grenade launcher that entered service with the Soviet Army about 1920 – 1930, or something else?

I can not find anything on the M30 Rifle Grenade to clarify what it is exactly.
Simply what is it?

re 75mm M40 AT-Gun.....SEE POST #4

As for the M30 Rifle Grenade. It will be the Dyakonov

You say
I say you are incorrect. It is available to the Finns from 1930

Thank you for your clarification re the M30 Rifle Grenade.

CORRECTION

My response that you had found and old "error" was premature and it occured to me later why

There are TWO Finn 75mm M40 AT-Guns

You found the first one ( unit 44 ) with the lower Sabot and HEAT round count that ends 12/43 but then Unit 136 with a higher Sabot and HEAT round count takes over and runs 1/44-12/46

No correction to 44 will be made

Fine.
Solves the problem..

Re: OOB 35 Finland – some weapon confusion
 

Just thinking Finland should be a second country with Russians aero-sani sledge vehicles in their arsenal. They were used first time in war with Finland in 1939/1940 and judging from photos they captured a lot of them from soviets.

They start Jan 1942 not during the 1939/1940 winter war and they have had the Jan 1942 start date for decades
