True, but what Jaime was looking for was an undersized mortar... as is,
it's too powerful; being downrange of one of those things is obscene...
The standard infantry grenade launcher is powerful enough.

This I like - get rid of the auto-hit capability of the

Sure the range is limited, but we're playing on a fairly small table
right
now, and always with lots of terrain.
