I attached the index cards I made for all the units I can make with the models I have. I took each 10-man squad and broke them down into 2 5-man squads (labeled A and B respectively) I have them all printed and cut out so when I go to play, I just pull the units I want to use adding the totals of each unit together until I reach the set amount.

Then what if you want to change squad sizes and equipment quickly?

I won't. While I do not require my opponents to do so, I always play my models WYSIWYG so there is no swapping weapons for me unless I physically swap weapons on the model. I've also got the same unit listed as 10 man or 2 5 man squads so the size option is already there.

If I really must change something, then I just go into my database and make the adjustment. Then run the program to create the pdf again. (I use GMC Inspire to create this which unfortunately is not a household program but it's the same idea as using index cards)

I play WYSIWYG but then again I can alter unit sizes etc just fine which makes sense thematically. Casualties ensure units are rarely at full sizes or even sizes.
