Completely and utterly ridiculous. Unless you mean to have a core based on an artillery regiment!.

A battalion (3-4 coys) would expect to have one (1) battery allocated to it in general operations (SP meeter, delay, defend). In a hasty attack (SP advance), perhaps one per company, and in an assault only, then the sky is the limit.

Your core should only have the one core battery (if British, 2 troops(platoons) = 1 battery) per 3 or so companies and the on-map infantry mortars/guns - a section of 2-3 tubes per rifle coy or so and a section of heavier mortars or infantry guns at battalion HQ. (USA 60mm company HQ mortars or GE/USSR 50mm ones do not count.)

Any additional batteries should be bought from the support pool if you are advancing (about 1 per co) or assaulting - whatever you can afford. Defending - if you have some spare points after support mines and grunts and ATG buy then maybe a few guns or mortars extra.
