Re: 60 mm mortar
1) it may be a direct fire mortar, same as the German 50mm ones say - e.g. if it is a para mortar class. D/F mortars don't appear on the bombardment screen.
2) If it is a normal indirect fire mortar class, then it may be out of contact.
- it may be out of contact with it's HQ, if a company level asset, and the HQ is up at the front. Or if a platoon of several elements, the player has shot-gunned these all over the map instead of setting them up within 2-3 hexes of the HQ element. Radio comms is intermittent - but being in shouting distance is reliable.
Cure: get the HQ element back in vocal command radius of the mortar team (3-5 hexes at the extreme, but 2-3 hexes is best), or wait till radio comms is re-established.
- Also, indirect assets are sometimes deemed out of contact and so do not appear on the indirect fire menu. This usually affects the off-map units though.
Cure: wait till they re-establish contact.
Cheers
