Mountain artillery?

Any hope of getting a couple of 75mm mountain versions of US/Japanese artillery?
The current 75mm art cannot enter mountain hexes.
These would come in handy in scenarios. I would not mind reusing the same sprites as a stop-gap measure.

IIRC the US 75 mm pack howitzer that is in the game was used by mountain units too, so could be made "mountain-capable" theoretically.

OK, let's just add mountain capability to these two 75mm guns and we'll be good.

Well for Jap, the current Type 90 75er was IIRC completely unfit for mountains service. Still, if you need the feature more...
BTW - if you need this for a mod could be worth trying to you get the pack howitzer to work in mountain terrain by editing its move/chassis type to "foot" from "tow"?
Never tested this so far in OOB - so your computer might explode etc. (backups!)
Just a quick idea.

I'll try exchanging 'tow' with 'foot'. It should be safe assuming I follow Luka's mod instructions.
And yes, at the moment I need a Japanese mountain art for a custom scenario.
