Default Re: Recruiting for Renegade Legion MOD

Oh yeah, here's a game concept question I've been debating for a while now:

Which would be a better way to handle ground units?

Method A:
-Troop types are "Infantry" "Light Tank" "Medium Tank" "Heavy Tank", all of which are fairly small (less than 50kT)
-Components are individual weapons, such as lasers and missiles, or shields and armor.
-Allows for detailed vehicle design, and ground casualties will be more apparent with smaller units.

Method B:
-Troop types are "Platoon" "Century" "Cohort" "Legion", all of which are fairly large (not sure how large yet, but a large transport shouldn't be able to move more than 1 legion.
-Components are entire infantry and vehicle formations, such as Anti-Tank Platoons, Grav-Mounted Infantry Centuries, Heavy Tank Cohorts, etc.
-Has a more epic and engrossing sense of scale knowing you are dropping 2 Strike and 1 Infantry Legion on a planet rather than 368 Trajan tanks and 13,402 Infantry.

Thoughts?
