I would have thought that there's little practical difference between a
German 8cm, British 3", US 81mm or Russian 82mm mortar in terms of game
effect - except in range, which will always be long enough to cover the
whole table anyway. Burst area and impact would be the same.

The Russians shouldn't have been able to call mortar fire at all. If
available, I would think it would have to be pre-planned.
