Back to the original thought, having them as a HQ unit by themselves would make AM CP batteries even cheaper, which I feel is bad. (Not by much admittedly, but still.)

However, allowing you to take 2-3 Platoon Commanders, as a single HQ unit choice for every Company Commander you have in the same detachment might work. It's not more points efficient, but it is more fluffier; and spreads your 'orders givers' out a bit.

Nah. Realistically, the solution is to remove the "Company" and "Platoon" monikers and just call them "Senior" and "Junior" Officers again.

I do personally like the Platoons thing, but that'd be a whole rewrite of the AM codex really, and how orders work probably - too much change at this point.

It would require a rewrite of the whole damn edition at this point.
