The No.68 AT grenade is a rifle grenade that could be mounted on the Lee Enfield No.1 Mk III using the cup type grenade launcher, because the newer Lee Enfield No.4 Mk 1 is the only Lee Enfield rifle in the game it is used instead. It was the first HEAT projectile to be issued in the British army. It was used in frontline service until 1942 when it was relegated to home guard service only. Instead the PIAT was used as it had more firepower. The American M9 rifle grenade was later adopted in 1944 as the No. 85 rifle grenade which was actually used with the No.4 rifle.

It serves as the counterpart to the German Gross Gewehr-Panzergranate as both are shaped charge rifle grenades and both see action on some maps, such as the battle of El Alamein. Also to the Kampfpistole which fires near identical rounds with slightly different performance, but maximum penetration for the smallest HEAT round for the Kampfpistole and No.68 is identical.
