I think in *this* case it's not a matter of "what are the odds" but
rather
"sometimes shit happens".  :-/	 If the player in question controlled a
squad from each platoon, well, what more can you do for them? Other than
let
that person run everything, then no one else gets any action.

But then what if all the squads from all the platoons become shaken?
That
would leave everyone on that side of the table, whatever they
controlled,
pretty much out of it ('course it would likely end the game, too ;-) ).

At some point you have to say it's no longer feasible to divide things
up
just to keep a player in the game for a turn.
