All looks good to me, but then again Yahoo is
notoriously retarded.

I usually run a reinforced platoon (32 guys in the
platoon, plus vehicles for a mech platoon).  Since NRE
stuff is top-of-the-line, a balanced OPFOR for me is
generally 2 platoons or a platoon with some serious
support.  Of course, that's for a meeting engagement
with no artillery support.  With doctrinal artillery
or the advantage of defensive positions, you need
more.

You can do it that way, but such small units have so
little firepower I rarely find they are worth it
(unless elite or something).  But then again, I'm a
follower of the creed of the Holy Fathers of the
Perpetual Railgun, and prefer my 8-10 man squads with
2 SAWs.

IAVRs, 2-3 per 4-man fireteam is about right.  At
least if you're a sick bastard like myself.
