Default Re: French Mortars

Just to add to that, most french 120mm mortar units with two tubes have a crew of 6 (units 413, 420, 475). However there are two units (414, 476) that have two tubes and a crew of 10. There's also a unit (412) which has 3 tubes and a crew of 6. Ammo loads are either 30 or 40 per tube for all these units.

That's quite a spread of 'crew per tube', varying from 2 to 5 per tube; 6 if you add the changed single tube unit (442) with a 6 man crew.
