Quick question reg COD. COdex says it effect units from inf platoons and conscripts. So does this include the CS of a platoon? As read, I think it does.

the command squad of a platoon is considered a part of the platoon so yes, it's covered  |

Are you sure Turtle??? I thought that only regular squads and conscripts could take close order drill.... If platoon command squads can take it, it is awesome!!What about HQ command squad?

Command platoon CS, deffinitely not. CS for heavy platoons, deffo not.
The rules say any inf platoon unit, which would include the CS, but it seemed a bit weird as the units are basically the same.
I wasn't sure if it only counted if they had lasguns or something.

Any Infantry Squad My take close order
Think of it in real life
Guardsmen were trained to use close order to counter charges
Command squad were once regular troops and were trained in the same way!
