Agreed - what I meant was that the amount of available mortars would be 
nation specific (and scenario of course).

Well for this scenario they had it because we needed to test the rules -

wether or not they should have it historicly we still have to work on.
We 
have some historicans in our gaming club that has great knowledge of the

russian army so I think I'll check with them. 

Artillery greater than mortars would have to be pre-planned AND 
pre-bombarded. It wouldn't fit into the game to have a a battery of
150mm 
slamming on to the table...
