In version 4.5 the German infantry is equipped with ONLY 9 grenades. One for each man in the squad. If they don't have any AT-weapon (panzerwurmines, At-mines, explosive charges, molotovs, improvised AT-Weapons) until the Panzerfaust is available...
...Why ONLY one man/grenade?
How many do you want them to carry? I am still using ver 4.3b and they will positively bombard my tanks with those rifle grenades. If anything the ammo allocation might be on the high side. I recall seeing someone post that each shot by an infantry unit might represent as many as 5 rounds of real ammo. The British Tommie carrying an Enfield carried 60 rds on his belt and 50 rds in each bandolier. I have tried simulating carrying a full battle load and the last thing I would want would be more weight added on. In a German squad more troops would be carrying extra ammo and barrels for the mg34/42 than grenades, the load of ammo for an 42 to fight a full battle would be several hundred pounds of ammo plus the weight of 3 or more spare barrels.
Just be glad they didn't add the squad setup with 2 mg42's per squad to the game.
thanks, John.
