One mortar unit is a battery of mortars. This distinction isn't very important in playing PFW, but it does give you a better feel for the units you are commanding. Complete details on all of the unit types you may encounter in PFW are contained in Appendix A of this manual. Each unit type is described by a number of characteristics. The interaction of these characteristics between units is one of the elements that makes PFW an interesting simulation.
Some units have no independent ability to move at all.
Most of these can, however, be carried from one location to another by a transport unit. The power and range of the unit's weapon. The amount of armor the unit possesses, if any. Some units in PFW have extra capabilities which allow them to perform special functions. There are three categories of transport units.
