(Answered) Infantry platoon construction
« on: 15 November 2014, 15:31:57 »
Okay so...

-You can have up to 2 support weapons per squad or depending on crew value

- If you have 1 support weapon per squad, you use range modifiers based on primary weapon

- There doesnt appear to be any limits for non standard infantry platoon sizes if you choose not to use the faction infantry sizes

So you can have a 30 man platoon divided into 30 squads of one man each, each armed with a Marx XX laser rifle (range 3) and a Auto grenade launcher. Since the squads only have 1 support weapon, they fire at range 3 due to the laser rifle but calculate damage as if they were firing the auto grenade launcher, and do not suffer movement penalties as it is only one secondary weapon per squad. Correct?

There will be a limit 5 squads per platoon/sub-platoon.  This will be errata.  Thanks.
