Varangian Rifle Squads: SL, TL, 2xAR, 2xSAW, 2xAA

That's 6 guys in heavy fast power armor with FP3 Imp d12 rifles, 2
with gauss SAWs, plus close combat weapons (axes) and causing terror. 
Oh, and two of the riflemen (or more, METT-T) are armed with IAVRs.
Elite 1s, of course.  If I were really trying to be silly, I could add
the platoon designated marksman.  It's actually illegal since there is
a six-man limit on PA squads.  In fact, no Roman PA squad is legal.  I
hate six-man squads.   Cheese rating 36, plus GM bonus for being
illegal as hell.

Now I could take Thematic Light Infantry which is only Cheese rating 12. 

A Tagmatic Scout Squad has 2 grav bike riders and a grav jeep with a
driver, a squad leader, an EW figure, and a SAW.  A mere 9 points if
veteran 2, plus the cheese cost of the vehicles and the EW package.

A light infantry scout squad?  5 men, including a SAW and an EW
package.   Another 9 points even if veteran 2.
