Mortar

Four Mortarmen. Mortarmen have the ability to attack multiple units at the same time using the smoke screen and barrage attacks. After attacking Mortarmen gain additional movement that can be used to retreat. Japan used the short range tiny Type 89 'knee mortar' that despite allied assumptions will break your knee if fired from it. Unlike allied standard size mortars which require multiple operators, each of these 4 mortarmen have their own grenade discharger mortar. They are the only Japanese unit equipped with smoke capability.
