What I was going for here is sort of a Hammer's Slammers on legs. They have
uniform equipment to make resupply easy. That is not to say that some of the
guys haven't been tinkering with their units.

As for the Command and Assault unit remaining in reserve, this is due to the
fact that as a Merc unit they can't chance losing valuable command personnel.
The Grendels are not kept out of combat, but are not used as freely as other
less specialized units. It may seem weird to the practical mind, but it
sounded pretty believable from a
bureaucratic/military mindset.

The large Company HQ is because as a Merc unit they can't rely on an
overwhelming amount of support from local military and want to keep the HQ a
viable combat unit.

The hope is that in most cases, specially equipped Oni walkers would be able
to handle most threats. Call in the Grendels when the Oni aren't cutting it
say when the heavy armor rolls out or some such.
