In most of the convention games I ran, I was expecting 6 to 8 players. I
went
with desiging scenarios around two squads/vehicles per player, with one
player
in charge of the command squad (and thus the final arbiter of who
activates
when). In my Plasma Ambush scenario, one side had one squad each of PA
while
the other side had one squad and one vehicle per player.

Now, I was limited because of time _and_ size constraints. Having a
couple of
squads and APCs per player is good in case one squad is mulched. So, 3
or 4
squads per player shouldn't be too bad. You're expecting 2 to 4 players,
so
four squads per side (or roughly a platoon per side) should work out
fine.
