Hi!  New to list, so let me briefly introduce.	John M. Atkinson, age 
20, resident of Woodbridge, VA.  Play Full Thrust (unfortunately, the 
group at the shop I play at has some screwy house rules, but I play 
closer to book FT when I play at home), Dirtside II, and am looking for 
a copy of Stargrunt II so I'll have an excuse to buy those minis, as I 
don't know anyone who plays it, but I kinda like the minis.

Note--modern US light infantry platoons have three rifle squads, plus a 
heavy weapons squad (Usually 2xM-60s [replaced by M-240Gs in Real Army 
Real Soon Now], another SAW (Squad Leader), and an M-203 GL), plus a 
platoon HQ with PL, PSG, RTO.  Or at least that's how the 1/170th 
(MdARNG) was organized last summer.
