Chemical munitions

It would be nice to be able to add Chemical munitions to various weapon systems predominantly arty pieces of 120mm or greater.
According to some declassified CIA reports (the PDF ones you can find in google search's), they estimated that the Soviets had munitions for light and medium arty including 120mm mortars. Although I think that only MRL or SSM systems have the ability for a saturation attack while standard arty should only target a single hex.
I know the US chemical arsenal/stockpile wasn't anywhere near the size of the soviets but I suspect that similar sized munitions may have been planned/produced
Not sure where the British and Germans stood in terms of chemical weapon stockpiles
While on this subject should we explore the possibility of chemical mines being included....
