No, I didn't do anything special with the German infantry there. Maybe mortars can cause casualties due to the steep angle of attack?

120mm mortars have bigger warhead size than say 80mm - it is W/H size that contributes to punching through the cover. Same with how 155mm arty does a better job on dug-in troops than 105mm.

Makes sense. I always felt these were the most effective mortar type overall.

Interesting. Didn't think anything less than 155mm could cause casualties in that situation. Can't recall ever having seen it happen. Or is there a difference between being entrenched and "dug-in'?
