Heavy Infantry Platoons
The NSL Heavy Infantry squads are the primary unit fielded on the battlefield. Because of their expense, the NSL have relatively small 6-man squad, but the heavy hitting power and survivability of these squads more than makes up for this.
The NSL Jager command squad shown above consists of the platoon commander, a GMS/P, Squad Sergeant, Trooper, SAW gunner and three further Troopers.
Jager tend to be veteren soldiers with experienced leaders, picked from the best heavy infantry squads. The mortar team is viewed as a less glorious role, and as such tends to be sub-par compared to the other squads.

Just like the Jager, an armoured squad may be equipped with either a portable plasma gun, or a rapid fire variant of it. A platoon is made up of three infantry squads plus a command squad. Grav APCs will be nearby to provide transport.
Some platoons may be supported by heavy armour, such as the Halberd Assault Gun, which is a Size 3 vehicle.
