Yes I am well aware of the play penalties associated with the projected two six man rather than one twelve man grenadier squads. However if one is worried about the inherent fragility of a 6 man suad one could simply play the squads in one hex. Though this will not play exactly the same as a 12 man squad it is a pretty close approximation. Even though you disagree with a 6 man grenadier squad, I notice that the game is quite happy to field a 5 man paratrooper squad?

I dont object to a 5 or 6 man squad if that is how it was in real life. What I do object to is to start operating with half-squads when the game is really based on squads as the smallest unit. Much better to modify the transport to carry the full squad instead, IMHO.

When I raised this issue, the thread was ignored, so while I have your attention, would you be able to tell us what the 5 man paratrooper squad represents? And if it does represent a LMG team why isnt it 3 man and size 0 like those in the rest of the game?

I know it will be an earthshattering surprise to you Chuck, but game designers and playtesters are not put on this earth exclusively to serve you every whim and every call.
