56th IB needs an artillery battalion: there should be a few NG or Reserve 155 battalions from which a battalion could be sent to attach to the brigade.

1-229th Field Artillery Regiment?

Good suggestion, thanks. Have made the update.

I don't want to overload the Finnish TO, especially in LAPAG, because logistics would not support too large a force.
