I don't have a problem with the weapons, per se (other than the "pack guns"), just the idea of trying to organize a single battery to include both. At least break them into separate batteries so they can deploy seperately.

I'm not sure there IS such a thing as a 3" pack gun, the barrel won't break down and it's going to be a good deal heavier than that of a 3" howitzer.

Wiki says...Skoda produced 75mm, 90mm, 100mm, 105mm and a prototype 150mm mountain guns between 1915-1939. The last took 6 carts and 3 animals to tow the barrel assembly. Generally the 100-105mm range seems the largest commonly fielded.
The MV was in the 450m/s range for the later ones, not far behind the old British 18pdr "gun", and substantially more than the old British 4.5" "howitzer".
