Starship Troopers Army List.

These army lists are an attempt to blend the original SST miiatures game with the Two Hour Wargames Rules - Chain Reaction for a forthcoming campaign at the Wyvern Wargamers. Sadly the Starship Troopers Miniatures game is out of production, but the war against the Arachnids goes on !!!

The Mobile Infantry Army List

The Mobile Infantry form one of the most flexible forces available in Starship Troopers.  With access to many different units across several different types of platoon, there are few fights they cannot win – and win decisively!  From the massed forces of the Light Armour troopers to cutting edge technology of Exosuits, the Mobile Infantry are Mankind’s first and best line of defence.

Platoon Structure

The standard, just out of boot camp squad size for most Mobile Infantry platoons is three squads consisting of eight troopers, a Sergeant and seven Troopers. The platoon Headquarters contains a Lieutenant, Radio Operator and Master Sergeant.

MI elements are broken down into specific asset types.

Command Assets, Squad Assets, Company and/or Fleet Assets.

Field Headquarters is made up of a Lieutenant, his Radio Operator and a verteran Master Sergeant.
