So I was hoping to get a few opinions on the following. Not got any models yet so everything is changeable. The basic idea is the Cadian battalion will hang back out of line of sight and bombard the field with mortars whilst the Knights and tanks move up to take things on.

If you want to live the Guard detachment behind, then the single mortar in infantry squads makes little sense, at this point you might just get mortar squads on their own, and keep the bare naked infantry to walk along and put some bodies to use to soak up fire, charges against the tanks and whatnot
My 2 cents

Not a bad idea, thanks.
