The Romanian used the 81.4mm Brandt mortar model 1927/31. The 81mm mortar produced by the French Brandt firm became a ’classic’ design of its era and was copied or licence-built by almost every army in Europe as well as the United States. It was adopted by the Romanians and used to outfit the mortar platoon supporting the infantry and cavalry. Check out the 81mm and 120mm Mortar Platoons in the online store here...

Bagration: Axis Allies In 1944 Stalin’s Red army is on the attack. While it  throws the Germans out of Byelorussia, it also goes about defeating Germany’s allies; Finland, Romania and Hungary. The Romanians hold off the first Soviet attacks, but a second massive offensive in August 1944 sees them overwelmed. They surrender and swap sides to fight alongside the Soviets. Meanwhile, the Finns also fight for their survival as the Soviets attempt to steamroll them out of the war. They fight the Soviets to a standstill and agree a peace, but are forced to to turn on the Germans. Then three massive Soviet Fronts turn on Hungary, defended by six German and Hungarian armies. The great red sledgehammer is soon swinging, as the Soviets and Romanians launch an assault toward Budapest. Axis armoured forces attempt to stop the encirclement of the city. This savage and bitter struggle will last for 100 gruelling days.
