I will concede the error with the lead unit. Yes, it should be a Legionaire section instead of an Infantry Section but unless you have info better than "probably" I'm going to leave the mortars as is. "Probably" may be the reason they are there in the first place, or maybe not. If I'm going to change something I need more substantial than "probably"

"probably" again.

The problem I have with this is that "the foot support platoon (102)" has trucks as well which makes the whole reason you think that formation should be changed from 110 a moot point as both formations contain trucks and given they were set up with 120mm mortars having trucks to move them makes perfect sense so while I appreciate there may be questions about this, the "probably" answers don't help a whole lot in resolving it but only raise more questions
