First of all...


And do not attack someone else's rules using rather offensive language. Particularly here, since this forums have rather older age users. I am used to flame when I need, not sure about them.

Well said. "Type of troops". But it is relatively rare (and odd) if battalion sized battle group (or greater, knowing our point amount) you have a platoon of all sort of soldiers in it. Platoon of Paras here (because they have loads of SMG so they are good in cities), platoon of gurkhas here because these are good, platoon of Holemand Defense (?!) securing the back of El Alamein etc.
Full company rule applies to cut such situations, mainly among infantry units, less around tanks. It works. It is realistic, I played a lot with this rule, no one was ever bothered. Plus it emphesises on good use of support units, eg. in bigger battles it is good to take entire battalion with Heavy Weapons Company that has Vickers and stuff.

Yet, to make things clear: This rule applies only and only to the units that CAN be deployed in company (and eventually, battery also). For this reason, you are pretty much unlimited in just all the stuff you listed. At least when we play battle like that, not relaying on real life ORBATs. What I often do.
Then, read again this part:

I can understand a RATIONAL number of free platoons for support purposes, eg. tank battalion gets a platoon of tank destroyers. This makes sense.

If you will use it rationally, such us yes, scout section for company, maybe MGs for comapny as well, I see no problem with that. If I happen to see 20 Vickers covering 3 platoons, one para, one ghurka, one reserve or something, then I may be pretty mad.

Now, if you know my approach, I hope you understand what I mean by "full company rule"
