ok all i know about squads and platoons: 10 ppl in a squad, 3 squads in a platoon

what i would like to know:
1) what happens if you have more than 3 platoons?
2) if you do have more than 3 platoons will you be able to chat with the squads in the other 3 platoons?
3)what happens if theres like an odd number of people in the outfit, like 11. will it be one squad and just a guy all by himself?
4)how do you invite people into a squad?? will it be simple like assigning a hotkey for it or will you have to pick from a list of like 5000 people?

for the question if there is an odd number there are 10 people in a squad so its just like any other group you get full just like severs in cs so he will just have to find another

im guessing that it would be like the grouping in EQ, but none of you know me so let me tell you this off the bat: im an idiot.

1) what happens if you have more than 3 platoons?

More than 3 Squads you mean? Then form two Platoons of 2 Squads if you have 4 Squads, or a Platoon of 2 Squads and a Platoon of 3 Squads if you have 5 Squads.

2) if you do have more than 3 platoons will you be able to chat with the squads in the other 3 platoons?

Rephrase this, I'm not sure what you're asking.

3)what happens if theres like an odd number of people in the outfit, like 11. will it be one squad and just a guy all by himself?

Make one Squad of 5 and one Squad of 6.

4)how do you invite people into a squad?? will it be simple like assigning a hotkey for it or will you have to pick from a list of like 5000 people?

Don't think this has been made public yet, but there is a fairly sophisticated Looking For Group menu that Squadleaders can find individuals looking for a squad though.

1.) What happens, you have alott of troops ready for action? Seriously, i think you can make chatgroups in PS aka EQ for organising things, so you just get everyone in all the platoons into that chatgroup for easier organising.

2.) See 1. If all platoons are in the same outfit then it's no problem, can just use outfit chat channel.

3.) Like warborn said, for 2 squads then make it a platoon.

4.) You can click on him whit the cursor and hit an invite button or you can type /invite playersname
