With about 3500 machineguns aquired (Z.B.-53 model 37) by mid-41, Romania could not meet the need for modern machineguns for his entire army.

I have been trying to form a typical Infantry Romanian Company circa 1941-43 for wargaming purposes, and I have armed them with these weapons.

Berette M.1934 9mm Pistol (Officers)
Steyr M.1912 9mm Pistol (NCOs & LMG gunners)
Beretta M.1934 9mm SMG (NCOs from 1941)
Orlita M.1941 SMG (NCOs from 1943)
ZB M.1924 7.92mm Rifle (main weapon for Infantry platoons)
Mosin-Nagant M.1891/30 7.62mm Rifle (company Sniper)
ZB 30 7.92mm M.1930 LMG (main infantry section LMG)
ZB 53 7.92mm M.1937 HMG (support platoon MG 1941-43)
Schwartzlose 8mm M.1907/12 HMG (was this still issued to front line units)

I cant find any place for 50mm mortars only 60mm and I cant find any Rifle grenades or anti-tank rifles.
I would be very greatfull for any feed back and I will post my full TO&E when its finished.
Thanks Yan.
