Re: DS II - Unit sizes?

I suspect that while there certainly were some historical formations of
6
tanks, that most sci-fi gamers will have a max of 5.  And the average
seems to be platoons of either 3 or 4.

I'm going to stick with 5 on my sheets for now.  If someone really needs
groups of 6, I could always make them a custom set. :)
