A platoon maybe, but hardly a "battalion." |

It may well be a battalion in the year 40k. After all, it is fantasy SiFi. |

Perhaps, but in what bizarro world is a battalion of mere Imperial Guardsmen (even if they're "elite" stormtroopers) outnumbered by a battle company of the Emperors' Finest by a ratio of over 2 to 1???!!!: link By this upside down logic the division would be the smallest unit, followed by the regiment, brigade, battalion, company, platoon and the squad being the largest. |

Oh, that's a battalion all right. But it's just the ones you can see, the rest are hiding in the bushes, right behind you! |

We all live in hyperbole land,didn't you know? A squad is a "Warband!", a section is a "Battle Company!", a Platoon is now a "Battalion!". Come on now , you've seen it before ……twenty one miniature displayed as an "Army!" Bigger sounds better in hyperbole land, even if the numbers or visuals fall very short. Or so some believe :D |
