That's what the rules suggest, yes. If it does not have a C/C system, it

suffers the appropriate effects - ie., it can't rally. (Of course it
most 
likely won't *need* to rally either since it will almost inevitably be 
destroyed first, but if it did need to it wouldn't be able to.)

Since you can't field elite (Red quality) commandoes in DS2 anyway
without 
using house rules, I don't see this as a very significant problem :-/

If you want a game where one side has a single platoon of elite troops
and 
nothing else, use SG2 or FMA:Skirmish (to be published Any Year Now <g>)

instead - they're much, much better suited to fights that small.
