Subject: Stargrunt PA vs. regular Infantry

Now that I finally got that order for my Stargrunt figs in (NSL Power 
Armor--and all I can say is WOW!  NEATO!) I've given some thought to 
actually playing the game (imagine!).  So I've decided to invest in 
some opposition force figs as well.  I found on someone's web site a 
TO&E for Islamic Federation infantry which I like, and I was wondering 
how large a force of unarmored infantry would be needed to take on a PA 
platoon.  I went in for all the bells and whistles--2 SAWs per squad, 2 
GMS/Ps in HW squad (four men--I'm using the PL and PSG as individuals), 
and all the rest have those twin rocket launchers.  I also whoopsed 
when I bought the first squad and ended up with four of them with 
SLAMs, which I'm handing out one per squad.  This seems to be a bit 
more firepower than your average SG platoon normally has, methinks.
