In 6mm I have one bn. of power armor (mounted individually), and one bn.

of  Infantry  (mounted at 2 to 1) that
are PAINTED. I have another 2 human and 2 alien battalions waiting for 
the brush..

I mounted my power armor (PA) individually  due to a higher level of 
training and equipment then the straight Infantry..
I give them a hit point of  2 (by dirtside II) when fired at as armor or

infantry target.

My Infantry is mounted 4/5 figures per stand (7 to 11 man squads) with 4

figure squads having hit point of 3
and 5 figure squads having hit point of 4. Most special weapons, special

forces and command stands are mounted
2 figures per stand (hit point of 2)

The big advantage for PA is they have 7 fire elements per squad, 23 per 
platoon where straight infantry has 1
fire element per squad and 5/4 per platoon (cmdr + 4 squads or cmdr + 3 
squads for different size squads). The
big disadvantage for PA is that they are brittle and must dice off for 
availability (95% on initial landing for example
while 25% after having been used continuously for 72 hours).

I have the TO&E  for my PA and infantry battalions if interest (not 
flame sort) is shown.
