That's not all that would be affected by designing a force to fight
on/in asteroids.
No GMS teams. After all, the backblast would be too dangerous, very few
armored vehicles could fit in the corridors, you don't need a 4.8km
range when a 400m range of a buzzbomb would do.
No LAD teams.
No artillery at all, except for units (like your armored brigade) which
are intended to fight on the surface of larger bodies. And those would
be nothing but guided rocket artillery, since ballistic artillery would
be worthless.
Seems to me that most of the Alarishi forces would be nothing but
straight power armor teams, with a handful of Powered Engineer teams for
support.
