Yes, it's too small for an infantry only company by a long-shot. It IS
NOT,
however, an infantry only company I've described. It is a company level
combined arms force consisting of one 24 man infantry unit, to which is
attached an eight man armored infantry section AND a three tank tank
platoon,
three wheeled APC's attached permanently to the infantry platoon (adding

and a
wheeled AAA multi-barrel gun mount. This is a company size force in
anybody's
