I've been using RalPartha Battle Tech Davion infantry. I've not really 
diferentiated between the militia and power. I really only use line 
infantry, so its not a prob. I usually write the type (APSW, Rifle, 
Engineer, etc) on the underside of the stand to denote what they are. 
Usually 5 figs on a bit of card for a squad and 3 or 2 figs on a card
for 
a specialist section (APSW, GMS/L, LAD, etc).

I'd like to find some better infantry that look correct but somewhat 
futuristic. I'd love some small scale figs that look like ESWAT from 
Appleseed. Great weapons and kit.
