Kind of like the battle colors, but maybe call this one the mess hall or the barracks or something like that. Instead of having all the troops on each page, maybe a page of each type of troop (for six platoons per page)as well. Maybe the different color schemes could work as a layered thing. The weapons would be cool on like the tripod thingy that was put up somewhere, or mabe even an assortment of bases. Some of the wheeled cariages or like that come to mind. But then you have to have rules for towed artillery and so forth (I reckon it is about the same as any troops with a larger crew served weapon on a transport. High tech fold away rig that packs into a tight space with the troopers.)
I can think the main problem is that this has very little difference from a free product you have already put out. Maybe you add in the rules that were bouncing around. Of course if these came out as part of the 2.0 rule set, that could work too.
As an aside: My boy has expressed his preference for smaller scale platoons over larger single models, mainly because they come with mechs and tanks.

New infantry are in the works and will include all the battle colors, separate weapon tripods (making them removable), and cycles (wheeled and hover). I'm also toying with the idea of making drones or remote guided weapons. Unfortunately I have some family health issues that are holding me back from getting these done, but I'm able to get some work done here and there. You can see early discussions of new infantry ideas HERE and ALSO HERE. Sorry, I don't follow. Could you please clarify?

Okay. Behold my boy in action:
I asked him which he liked better between the two scales which I had both 30mm and 15mm in this box of paper miniatures I had put away in a "safe place" and then rediscovered. He says he likes the Mech Attack stuff better partially due to the fact that they come with mechs and tanks (whereas I only have a couple little 2d things for the larger rpg scale miniatures.) He likes the changeable weapons too. So it is not a request of you, it is more of an encouragement.
I am about to do a full print run on his silver army and my -- either green or blue. Maybe blue with green troops, since then I won't have to go through and do a sloppy recolor. I figure just what comes of printing one of each relevant page with maybe two of the infantry, if not more, will give me enough to mix and match for any sort of skirmish and quite an all day battle with them all out. I don't have the planes yet, but I do look forward to them too.
I rather like the way the troops look without bases on the table top, so I'll be building mine like that. That also makes them store smaller if I need them to.
