Force Organisation: Troops
2-5 squads per platoon .................. 40 points per squad plus weapons
A Youth Army Platoon consists of 2 to 5 squads of Cadets. The whole platoon functions as a single unit. This means that it will fight as a single unit (that's right — like one huge squad) of from 20 to 50 models. The squad organisation is only important in determining how many special and heavy weapons may be used.
Up to one Youth Army platoon may be used for each normal Infantry Platoon. This is the limit the Cadets will be recruited into when they have proven themselves. Youth Army platoons are ignored when determining how many armoured fist squads can be fielded.
