Default Heavy Weapons teams

I have a couple questions about HWT, can they combine with other Infantry squads in their hex to increase their DEF value (ie: 1 HWT + 2 INF squads = DEF of 3). If so, when HWT's and regular INF squads are grouped together and are attacked, resulting in a "D" result (reduced by 1 squad) who takes the hit?

We rolled for it here (1 or 2 when combined with 2 other squads / 1,2,3 when with 1), but since it is worth twice the VP's should the HWT always be treated as a separate unit?

What if there are 2 or 3 HWT's grouped together?

HWT are a class of Specialist Infantry, so all the rules for them apply the same way that any other Specialist class (e.g., Marines) would.

They can combine with "Regular" Infantry to increase defense
Getting a D results in a random selection

Look at 3.02 (toward the bottom) in the rules for details on mixed infantry.
