There's another different NI organization out there
that someone has sworn they are going to format and
send to me as soon as Real Life lets them do so.

As for me, I don't use 'em as NI.

I use them as Roman Thematic (2nd line) Skutatoi (Mech
Infantry).  My newest organizations (Theta-series MTOE
adopted after the Romanov War, authorized in 2179)
should be up on stargrunt.ca someday, but aren't yet.

Theta Type 3: Thematic Skutatoi (1/39)

Platoon HQ Squad: PL, PSG, EW, Medic, Marksman (1/5)
3xLine Squads: SL, TL, 2xAR, 2xSAW, 2xAA (0/8)
Weapons Squad: 2xAT Gunner (Senior Gunner is Squad
Leader), 2xAG (0/4)
Vehicle Squad: 3xTC (Senior TC is Squad Leader),
4xDrivers (0/7)

PL, SL, TL, AR: Combat Armor, Mk7 Automatic Rifle
EW: Combat Armor, Mk7, Superior EW Suite
Medic: Combat Armor, Mk3 Submachine Gun
Marksman: Combat Armor, Mk 24 Gauss Sniper Rifle
SAW: Combat Armor, Mk8 Gauss SAW
AA: Combat Armor, Mk7, 2xIAVR
AT Gunner: Combat Armor, Pit Bull Light Guided Missle
Launcher, Mk3 SMG
AG: Combat Armor, Mk7, 3xPit Bull Light Guided Missles
PSG, TC, Driver: Combat Vehicular Crewman Suit, Mk3
Submachine Gun

Major End Items:
4xMichael Comnenus IFV
32xCombat Armor Suits
2xPit Bull GMS/L Launchers
1xEW Suite
6xMk8 SAW
22xMk7 Rifles
12xMk3 SMG
1xMk 24 Gauss Sniper Rifle

Tactical Employment:  Again, this MTOE is not intended
to fight without it's vehicles.  While the PSG
commands the vehicles, the PL dismounts to lead the
squads.  The anti-armor teams may be divided up and
added to the line squads, or may be kept together as a
reserve.  The HQ Squad is for administrative purposes
only, elements thereof will either function as
individual figures or be attached to a line squad.  

Designer's Notes:  Again I'm limited in the number of
heavy weapons attached by the carrying capacity of the
IFVs.  Firepower of the squads is the same as their
Tagmatic counterparts, but the third squad is a
dramatic increase in platoon firepower.  Of course,
they are also a lot less survivable than powered armor
troops, and slower as well.  Currently, there is no
GMS/L miniature so I'm using the GMS/P mini with a
regular rifleman as an AG.
