Should SP morters be able to move and shoot in the same turn like they can now?

And there I was hoping to hear about a new experimental balloon corps, hovering over the battlefield like Puffy the Magic Dragon and spewing forth fire and brimstone with their mortars.

Granted, firing a muzzle-loading mortar from a balloon could be quite tricky.

Nope - just their nickname in the usual intra-unit "friendly rivalry" back in the non-PC 1970s. It may well have come from the name for their drinking and football teams (same thing really).

Probably comes from a concatenation of bampot (Local Scots vernacular, similar to the Irish eejit) + loon, and all rhyming with platoon.
