RE: Japanese Infantry Guns
I wasn't going to comment here...but I have to agree with Ed. I am familiar with the document cited above but have found no evidence to actually confirm it. Unfortunately a number of Japanese weapons fit in rather nebulously in CS. One that comes to mind outside of the 70mm guns is the "knee mortar" (grenade launcher). While I do enjoy "attempting" to use their anemic abilities in a Japanese advance...I believe the description (on F2) of the inherent strenth of the Japanese infantry unit describes the inclusion of up to 2 mortars per platoon in their combat rating...ditto Russian infantry and the 50mm mortar.
I can't really see changing the Japanese infantry guns into indirect fire weapons as it forces the Japanese to use them up close and personal as was done due to "optics and coms"...but forbid...I am the guy who hates the way banzai attacks are recreated in the series.
Just my oppinion.
