I R TEH DUMB... what's the command structure for the MI?

[chris_valera]

So I'm reading S&P, specifically going through my paper and online pdf issues to find the article on the MI TO&E.

It's in an online issue, number 33, but I'm trying to find out how big a platoon and company are.

The article goes on and on, but I dunno, for whatever reason I'm not seeing it.

If there like, some kinda chart that tells you what a standard company is? Or how many squads is in a platoon, and how many platoons is in a company?

There's one in the SST RPG (page 184), which says to basically use a rule of four. Four squads in a platoon, four platoons in a company, all the way up the chain. I always explain away any variances as being companies that are not at full strength and have redeployed their personnel to make full squads at a cost of dropping squads/platoons/etc.

pg.75 of the hardcover rulebook has the table you'r looking for.

But remember that those are only teoretical numbers. In real warfare everything is different, and it's almost never like on the paper.

A standard power armour MI platoon has 4 squads of 8 men, an NCO and an LT. I think the rest of the platoon structures are listed in the S&P article.

But thats the thing, theyre not. And with the new rulebook coming out, theres very little reason to buy the hardback of the old one. Can I get an mspaint of the TO&E?

From S&P article I got:

marauder platoon: 3 squads of 3 marauders(each squad 2 apes and chickenhawk though often reorganised into 1 separate squad of chickenhawk) and officers, exo-suits are 2 officers and 4 squads of 5, LAMI is 2 officers and 5 squads of 10. Can't recall pathfinders top of my head.

As far as i know, there's nothing in the hardback that's not in the original rulebook. The ibt I cited about the standard platoon being 4 squads is in the paperback rulebook too, in the MI section.
