How do you handle militaries like Hammer's Slammers or some of the units from the Traveller universe?  Sorry, not too experienced at designing unconventional forces and need all the help I can get.

The infantry force would be eaten for lunch by other infantry.  There

is a reason that most infantry forces have a mix of different weapons.

 

Using SGII rules, without houseruling things extensively, your best

bet would be to organize in small teams, 2-3 men each, each built

around a single heavy weapon with one or two ammo bearers/riflemen.

 

And then the first time that force runs into some light infantry, they

will start reconsidering having regular rifle squads in the force mix.
