Grenade support

[Maschinengewehrschutze]

Im in favor of more grenades for certain RIFLEMEN. Or atleast faster resupplies for riflemen cause they get a friggin K98 to begin with.
WW1 Storm troops had grenade bags hanging around their shoulders. 8-10 grenades. And those were those older probably more powerful ones.

 

[Maschinengewehrschutze]

Little OT:

The Soviets threw grenades into any room, cellar, or rubble-cave of which they were even slightly suspicious, since gratuitous rubble worked to their advantage. Chuikov's "hand-grenade rule" held that no soldier should move without throwing a grenade first, and never move farther at a time than he could throw another one. His troops used flamethrowers without hesitation.

Chuikov dispensed with conventional notions of platoons and companies, creating a unit called a "shock group." One shock group included three sub-units: a storm group, a reinforcement group, and a reserve group, in a structure intended to take advantage of the tactics already described. The storm group had eight to ten soldiers, armed with machine guns, grenades, daggers and shovels (used as axes or clubs as necessary).
