Actually, the loss of the platoon leader usually leads to that side 
pulling back onto the defensive.  We ALWAYS play with platoon leaders 
(in our club we have more than enough players to run squads) and the 
loss of the ability to reactivate squads is usually a heavy blow.  We 
allow simultaneous activation of two squads for purposes of close 
assault ONLY when a platoon leader directs it and if one side has a 
leader they tend to overpower the other.
