...within structural limitations ExSec has increased recruitment to support its expansion with increased deployment on planetary, system and exploration vessels, final calculations also include oversight of Minor Sections now brought into is command structure. Operational limitations for non DEFSEC platoon strength  - COMMAND/FIRETEAM/FIRETEAM have been surpassed by ExSec deployments by inclusion of Base or Flight Crew who have also received training to PM level. Calculating operational strength and potential threat level must assume full DefSec level Platoon strength COMMAND/FIRETEAM/FIRETEAM/FIRETEAM.



Completed my first Ion Age Platoon. Platoons are made up of 16 miniatures in four man teams, one command, a support and two Rifle elements. To fit in with the narrative of this being a governmental force rather than a full military, one of the rifle elements has been made up with the Cold Climes militia figures and the Captain from AA's Alternate Stars Range to represent a base commander/ Exploration Ship Captain.

Between terrain and first platoon, a good start for my Ion Charge! 
For August I am planning on some more terrain and a possible Grav Sled/Robot Mule or even a ship/lander for the ExSec and to start on the Retained Knights

  1. The platoon looks great and I like photos of scouting party. The AA figures have a real WH40K Rogue Trader vibe.

    1. Thanks. One of the reasons I like the AA universe and figures, classic vibe and lore
