Moving right along with the early war Germans, here are a couple of 50 mm (aka 5 cm) mortar teams. These models are from Crusader Miniatures.
In Blitzkrieg 1940 army lists for Chain of Command, 5 cm mortars are deployed with a three-man crew. Fortunately, I am unlikely to field two of these mortars at once, so I can simply use one mortar crewman and two loaders. The German 5 cm mortar only has access to explosive shells, no smoke, so I won't be able to use my favourite tactic with my British 2" mortars of covering the battlefield with smoke!
The "ground level" shot isn't as good for these prone models as it is for standing or kneeling ones!
Looking top down is a better look!
