[SG][DS][FT] Jumna Class Patrol Cruiser and Naval Infantry Company

Here's something I've been knocking up in my spare time. Brickbats
welcome
but the TOE of the infantry company is based around the models I have
which
explains some of the equipment. The idea was based around having a
single
ship which had plenty of different options for the kind of scenarios it
could get involved in. The ship it self in FT scenarios, the entire
company
in Dirtside sceanrios either on its own or coopertating with other
forces
and the spearhead platoon and power armour recon units in Stargunt.

The Jumna Class Patrol Cruiser.

The Jumna class is best appreciated by considering it's role first and
in
particular what it is not. it is NOT a line of battle vessel despite
being
built on a hull the same size as many Battle Cruisers. It is intended
for
independent show the flag and colonial policing and piracy suppression
operations in areas where it is not likely to meet "main force"
opposition.

The Jumna also has drop tubes for 6 power armour troopers.

The Jumna embarks a complete Naval infantry company organised as follows
(Dirtside):
HQ
1 HQ team and a jeep
1 FO team and a jeep
1 PA (recon) squad of 2 x 3 man PA teams
1st (light mechanised) "spearhead" platoon
3 x light mechanised squads of 1 M38 LIPPC
1 x 1M44 LIPFSV
2nd and 3rd (light) Platoons
1 HQ Squad of 1 rifle team + 1 APSW team
3 Rifle squads of 1 rifle team + 1 APSW team
1 x 1M44 LIPFSV

This unit is intended to act as stiffening to local militia forces. The
three M44's could be organised as a light armoured platoon to add some
"punch". Normal deployment would be for the PA to orbitally insert and
be
followed up by the transports carrying either the one of the light
platoons,
the FO team and the HQ team or carrying two M38's and their passengers.
Of
course if the whole company can ride down in adminstrative shuttles to a
nice comfy starport and then borrow some trucks so much the better.

In stargrunt terms the "Spearhead" and recon PA are rated as follows

Recon Squad
Identical to the Power-Armoured Infantry Squad on P69 of Stargrunt II

"spearhead" platoon
3 M38 LIPPC's, 1 M44 LIPFSV
1st and 2nd Squads
1 squad leader and 2 riflemen with KI-72
1 SAW gunner with RK-80
3rd Squad
1 squad leader and 2 riflemen with KI-72
1 GMS/P gunner with AT-17 "sandbox"

See P69 of Stargrunt II for weapon stats.

Known Problems:

There are only two Assault shuttles, each capable of carrying one size 2
vehicle + passengers OR 16 troops. This means that it takes two waves to
land an entire platoon with its vehicles.

In order to give tactical transport to the two light platoons they have
to
scrounge vehicles locally.
