The 'caution' attribute definitely affects defense grouping as well. I ran the scenarios through about 10 times for each setting.

Aggression 5, Caution 5, Tactical Skill 5

Defense concentrates to the center of the town with forward infantry screen.

Aggression 5, Caution -5, Tactical Skill 5

Defenses more spread out. Interestingly, one of the exit flags is also defended.

As I am not sure if any of the patches change things in the weapons.txt, here's an up-to-date version of the Less Accurate Mortars mod:

81mm & 3inch mortars' accuracy reduced by 50% from 461 to 250. Smoke rounds and 2inch mortars are unchanged.

Put the file to "Close Combat - Gateway to Caen\DATA\BASE", make a backup of the original file.

As per Nippelspanner's request, here's a mod that changes the German infantry to use the light MG34 instead of the light MG42. Tanks, MG teams etc. still use MG42.

JSGME ready, otherwise manually copy the file to data/base.

Haven't tested it other than that it works.

Version that removes half of the light MG42s:

Most teams have two variants which the game uses when giving you troops. Seems like it uses these variants at a ratio of 50/50.

That is not coincidental, if you meant to imply this.

For those interested:
The left teams are always (if fresh) the one with the squad leader (MP40) and a 'stationary' MG42, the right teams are always formed of the asst. leader/team leader (G43) and the "Sturm" variant of the MG42 (shorter, quicker burst & fire on the move), as well as a PzFst30 unit.
Left teams are cover-fire teams and the right one are maneuver-teams, which makes sense.
A stationary MG42 that needs to be set up first should be more effective at longer ranges, and back there is no need for short ranged anti tank weapons.
That is also how I started to use my teams and I dare to say I'm more effective since, but that might be coincidental.
