Did the Library staff get hung up on whether to count armored infantry as either foor or mechanized (due to the mechanized symbol) and accidently leave the poor bloody infantry out altogether?
At PG's level of play (platoons), it is not clear to me what distinction the "symbol" can imply regarding mechanized vs. motorized vs. foot infantry. Since the transport and the fighting soldiers are separate "units," so-called mechanized infantry - however designated by a symbol - are foot units unless carried by armored tracked transports. Put another way, any foot unit is "mechanized" when being transported by a tracked or half-tracked transport.
Perhaps what I'm suggesting is that this issue is really a non-issue at the unit level found in PG. Gren/Sch/Inf platoons are all foot units whatever their organizational source at the battalion (or regimental) level, where, one might distinguished between a mechanized and motorized infantry battalion (regiment) .
