Each squad of rifles takes 7 infantrymen, a sergeant, and a weapons team. You have 8, nearly 9, rifle squads, of which you're probably going to want all of in your list.

The sentinels are good for filling the brigade if you're going for that.

Then there's the tanks. Pask and 3 Tank Commanders, probably the two Battle Tanks and an Executioner, will most likely make it.

Definitely the two Basilisks, and you can pull in the last Executioner to be Pask's buddy, since Pask can buff a normal tank to be like a discount Tank Commander.

From that point, the Vulture or Punisher can be added in at your discretion.
