Can anyone explain . . .

Looks like the range of the wz.36 was 800m - so three hexes. It's anyone's guess whether a single 46mm grenade launcher has the equivalent firepower of 20, 30 or 40 riflemen.

re:assault - I think that this is a game balance issue. Remember mounted cavalry assault at x3 the riders assault value, so the cavalry 3 becomes 9 when mounted. That would be 4x3=12 if they had the same stats as the Polish riflemen, which does not seem too outrageous. Not sure which I would rather face 60 cavalrymen or 6 wasps firing flame throwers... on second thoughts, if I had an mg34 I would probably take the cavalry so perhaps 9 is a better model than 12.

re:defence - this one seems to be completely out of whack. I can't think of a reason why this would not be the same as the rifle platoon. When mounted they use the horses defence value of 3 which is appropriate, but when dismounted they were trained to operate as infantry, and thus really should be 7.
