The 10.5cm Nebelwerfer 40 (or 10.5cm NbW40) was utilised by the Germany Army during World War Two. Developed with intention of delivering chemical payloads such as gas or smoke shells, it could also fire standard high explosive (or HE) rounds.
Unlike most mortars, the 10.5cm NbW40 featured was loaded via the breech and the tube was permanently attached to its wheeled carriage which simply folded down for transport purposes. Its performance was in terms of range was over twice that over earlier models but at the expense weighing nearly eight times mores.
Observer teams need a good view of the battlefield in order to do their job correctly. Be sure to deploy them in a position where they have an excellent view of the battlefield such as on a hilltop or on the top floor of a multi-level building.

Smoke bombardment
Smoke
Sometimes your weapons won’t destroy the enemy quickly enough to prevent them from wreaking havoc on your own troops first. One way to protect your troops in the meanwhile is to fire smoke at the enemy to temporarily impair their vision.
Only weapons listed as having the Smoke attribute in their Arsenal may fire smoke. Some weapons can also fire Smoke Bombardments (see page 136 of the main rulebook).
