Default Re: Hand grenades

As you wish. But "wz..." designations should be removed from both, since there were several marks used: wz.23, wz.33 and WWI-vintage. Generic "obronny" and "zaczepny" will be therefore better, although I wouldn't mind names in English.

To me, both offensive and defensive grenades could be unified, since other OOBs have only one type of (strong) grenades. Besides, their numbers are probably too high - Polish Wikipedia gives an information, without source, that a soldier had two defensive and two offensive grenades (which seems to be applied in OOB), but in a detailed new book on an infantry regiment I've found an information, that there were two offensive and one defensive grenade. So maybe each soldier should just receive three generic grenades...
