I have enough Zhodani from Martian Metals to field 2/3 of the Marine 
Platoon, unless I use Striker with fireteam bases in which case I could 
do the whole thing.

I'm left wondering what I could use for the Battle Dress equipped 
psi-commandos though.

Thunder on Zyra might be my next project. As I recall the Zhodani in 
that scenario are lower tech (Tech 9) and I could easily field that.
