Soviet Mountain Corps question

Can the Soviet player form a mountain corps from 3 mountain divisions ?

There is such a corps in the 1944 GC and there is OOB for it but it is not mentioned in the manual.

I've never been able to create a mountain corps at any point in the game through 1943. I suspect this unit is scenario only, but would love the ability.

You can't make airborne corps, either.

The manual says airborne corps are available in 1943.

Can the Soviet player form a mountain corps from 3 mountain divisions ?

Not with the current game code.

Will it be possible in the patch ?

Theoretically yes, but is there any Mountain Divisions left when the Corps unit is available?

Yes, 3 or 4 have survived till 6/42. Against the AI on Normal difficulty.
