Hi

Has anyone suggestions ofr stats for smaller sized mortars e.g US 60mm, Brit 2 ", german 50mm and so on. This would be a really useful addition I think.

cheers
Alex
 
Well, I have send an article to Mongoose in May 2008 about small Mortars. IIRC it was never published (for whatever reasons). You can assume the same stats for the German small mortar.
Maybe try it...

2” Mortar: The "2-inch mortar" was a British mortar issued to British and Commonwealth armies that saw use during the Second World War and later. Its biggest advantage was its better portability compared to larger mortars which needed vehicles to be carried around, but gave greater range and firepower than rifle grenades.
