Im not sure if the pre-WW2 stuff is a huge priority, but figured this might be worth mentioning:

The american M2 60mm mortar will show up from 1930 onwards, but to my knowledge, this wasn't actually in army service until 1940.

From the Brit list, you can buy Carrier platoons with Bren carriers in 1930 as well, which should be 1934 or so.

Cheers!

I'll put this on the list. We know there are a few items that had their start date pushed back to 1930 simply to avoid a unit/formation/picklist headache over a low priority time period.

Also, don't go by the start or end date of the unit. The date the formation that uses that unit class is the real determinator of when a unt shows up. The US 60 mm airbourn mortars start 1930 but the formation that determines when they actually show up in the game doesn't start until 11/42. That said I do know there are things that show up a bit early in the game

yeah, I figured 1930 isn't a huge priority. Thank you though :)
If you guys want, I don't mind checking some more of these 1930's things.


Good point on the dates. I was just looking at what was actually available on the buy screen.
