Default Re: Question:small arms for on map artillery

No, there is no convention against it. Not in game terms. In reality, artillerymen are specialists. They receive rifle training just like all other soldiers do, but then specialise in gunnery. The closest you might come to that is the US Marine Corps, where, whatever else you may be, you are also a rifleman. The Rhodesian army also occasionally used its artillerymen as infantrymen, but when they were so used, they stored the 25lbers and shouldered FALS. But this is a hypothetical army, so you can do as you wish.
