Re: Unit organization for small scale mecha

Destroids are 1 destroid = 1 squad 4 squads = a platoon 4 platoons = a company so a company would be 16 Destroids of the 4 platoons + 2 additional destroids as a command element for a total of 18 Destroids. They are organized more along the lines of an armor company.

The other big factor stopping both powers is the seasonal period you will have for open warfare. Three to five months for fighting. Now by the time winter sets in you will need three to five mothers of supplies built up for any troops that are not pulled back so that can last the winter.
