Italian weapon 85 is nothing more than a gasoline bomb.... a Molotov with the same ratings as the Molotov in the Russian OOB hence the name " bomba Benzina( bomb+petrol) . And it was named that way by the original OOB designer . The same goes for the German weapon 85 'Brandflasche' they are just gasoline bombs just like Weapon 85 in the Russian OOB
and Weapon 85 in 24 other OOB's
But thanks so much for trying to turn them into something they're not but we already have an infantry flame thrower in the Italian OOB as weapon 83 Lanciafiamme. I have noted though that you say it was not issued until 1935 but the game has it issued to two whole units before then. Are you sure there wasn't a model used before then? They used the French Schilt 3bis in WW1.
And yes one (1) German unit has a flamethrower 15 months "too early"
but they used them a lot in WW1... are you sure they were not used between the wars ?

Many Manchukuo units have a start date of 1930 which is interesting as the state didn't exist until 1932 but I guess that is neither here nor there.

and yes you are correct. Many do start in 1930 which is as you say is "neither here nor there" because they aren't available until Manchukuo appears as a "nation" in March 1932 and the date inconsistency means nothing at all to the game but it does give you something else to point out to us.
