Actually I should be slapped for even harping on play balance (If I did)
because
I am one that doesn't give two hoots about it. For example if you have
one squad
fighting a platoon, odds are they'll probably ended up forfeiting the
field.
However how well did they do relative to their size? Did they good a
give account
of themselves? Did they delay the enemy sufficiently. You get the
idea...  Though
balance in terms of  making the system work as it should is another
subject.

BTW regarding large ORC squads, are you making amends to the 2"/6" squad
integrity rule? IIRC models must be either 2" from the next squadmate of
within a
6" radius. You might want to consider changing one of those figures to
help cram
all the orcs together. Say like leaving the 2" rule (hell they love
company but
expanding the radius rule to some amenable figure to it your squad in.
