That could work. Requires more figures per squad, but then 6mm
figures are hardly expensive (or take long to paint).

Specialists would need to be single figures however - otherwise you
need to account for a weapons team (I assume you mean two figures,
one of which is the specialist) which loses the specialist, plus
a team which loses the non-specialist.
