Re: DS II - Unit sizes?

Thanks all.  I'll plan on a max size of 5 per platoon.
Decals Express will have a table at the ECC, and I will bring platoon 
marker packs.  I'll send a pointer to the list with a web image of them 
when I get them designed, and if anyone has specific orders you can let
me 
know so that I can bring enough of whatever you need.

Thanks,

J
