Heavy Infantry Comanies

The most common formation used by regiments raised on Altair Dominus is the Heavy Infantry Company. These companies are made of Carapace armored troops who use weapons like Heavy Autoguns, Heavy Stubber and RPG's to fight on the battlefield. Depending on the regiment, Heavy Infantry companie will often work with the support of sentinals or light armor, and in major engagement, they will be used as sweepers for heavy tank units. There are two kinds of Grenadier, Heavy and standard. Heavy Grenadier squads will be equiped with Heavy Stubbers, RPG's and demolition charges. Standard squads will generaly only have a number of specialized weapons to supplement their satandard autoguns. Altairan Grenediers are used in large units, and Altairan combat doctrine dictates that they alwase have the support of fellow Companies, Tanks, and Artillary. This is the First of the Altairan formations, more will follow however.
