Thanks Andy,
Yes a possible misunderstanding on coy composition with other elements being added as support.
My point though was that MG Bns which is where the MG Coy will be derived from did not have a mortar component at all. Hence there could not be a case of additional support as such. The Mors could not come via Div or Brigade as these did not hold independent units of mortars.
A standard Inf Bn 1940 on, British or commonwealth, did not have a MG Coy within the organisational structure. In the Aust 1939 organisation here was a support coy which had 4 MG Pls and each held 4 MMgs. The British organisation of the same period and introduced to the Aust org, 1940 implemented the carrier Pl. This then held 13 MMGs but its role was not the same as that of the MG Bn coy formations.
The Carrier Pl either operated independently, similar to the Div Cav Regts or would be split and allocated to each of the Inf coys within the Bn to provide MMG support.
Hence the concepts of MG Coy would be derived from the MG Bns not the Inf Bns.

This seems to be a misunderstanding of the various Commonwealth companies that are provided in the game with Bn support company troops already provided attached down under coy command for end-user convenience. It saves faffing about with the cross attach function (that was not available in any case in the early days of the game). They are not "embedded" elements.
As to the rest, it is probably a bit too complicated for a small OOB that is already compromised by merging 2 countries and also trying to cover 2 entirely different theatres. But we will look into seeing if there is some way to do some of this, without a complete rewrite of the AI pick list etc.
