Re: [DS] Infantry Base Question

What I did, was get some of the light hover jeeps (DSM113) and assigned 
one to each of my infantry platoons as the command figure. It works 
pretty well, as it keeps me from trying to track a specific element as 
the leader, and looks pretty nice when the APCs are moving along with 
the jeep mixed in with them.

But, my understanding is that any of the elements can be the platoon 
leader. Painting a colored marker on the bottom is a good idea. I should

still do that to indicate the who would take over if the jeep was
toasted.
