Well, the premise of my heavy troops is "whatever fits
into the IFVs".  The IFVs are size 3 with a size 2
turreted RFAC and a second APSW, so there are only 8
seats.	So a squad is 8 men.  The headquarters section
works out to: PL, PSG, EW, Medic, Antiarmor team,
Machine gun team.  Each of the teams are two-man
teams.	Antiarmor should have a GMS/L, Machine gun
should have GPMG.  

Light guys, I havn't really detailed because I havn't
chosen the mins for them.  But at a minimum:

Plt HQ:
   PL
   PSG
   EW
   Medic

3xLine Squads
   SL (AR/GL)
   5xAR/GL
   2xSAW

Weapons Squad
  Squad Leader (AR w/ GL for target marking)
  2xGPMG (2-man crew ea, AG carries AR)
  2xGMS/L (2-man crew ea, AG carries AR)

The weapons teams might be detached out, depending on
mission.
