Default Re: British Commando Units

One of the problems with my original suggestion 'B', is that it would turn a Commando Troop into a SP Company formation, probably led by a Capt; so if you were to buy a whole Commando (5 Troops) it wouldn't fit into the SP tiers of companies and platoons.

Option 'A' would disguise the HQ unit, which is a benefit that most SP units have; and would allow you to add additional support units as needed. Which is how it is with most infantry types, and this should be even more true for the versatile Commando.

Then people could buy a basic Commando troop, a troop that with 5 sections of 13 men would be - in SP - solid and hard hitting; and then add a sniper, support, heavy weapons, mortars, HMG, scouts etc as you see fit. Customize the troop for the mission.


cheers,
Cross
