[SG] Platoon make up, exoskeleton PA and drones

G'day,

I've read all the how-to's for TO&Es etc and saw that most everyone uses
4
squads per platoon. Apart from the "it is most efficient with respect to
reactivation" etc arguments I take it that there are sound military
reasons
for not having more squads? What happens if you're short on leader
stock??

It may well be unrealistic, but I was thinking of the following (so far
only
rough) platoon make-up...

Platoon HQ
Lt
Sgt
EW/Comms
IAVR or PA
SAW or PA (i.e. either the IAVR or SAW will potentially be carried by
PA)
3xriflemen
Spotter-drone

Platoon Engineers
Cpl
6xriflemen (or whatever you call them if they're actually an engineer...
sorry John)
SAW or PA
Drone

Platoon Mortars
2xtubes
6xcrew
SAW or PA
Comms
Drone

3xRifle Squads
Cpl
IAVR or PA
SAW or PA (i.e. either the IAVR or SAW will potentially be carried by
PA)
Comms
4xriflemen (one of these is a medic and there may even be a
sniper/marksman
per squad too)
Drone

OK potentially over the top (and still only rough) but all these squads
probably aren't going to be on at once... I was thinking of a colonial
force
with only themselves to rely on for much of the time. Large squad sizes
as
not that heavily armoured (mostly just ballistic cloth battledress). PA
support fig as I was thinking of the Starship trooper animated series.
Speaking of which does anyone know where/if you can get PA that isn't
all
sealed in like GZG PA, but is more like an exo-skeleton like in the
Starship
trooper series? Either that or a 1-2 man walker or gun spider?

By the way did the person who was going to make their own drones ever
have
any success?

Thanks
