The heavy weapons and some of the tactical marines went into 9th company, which now just needs the last of the command staff to be complete. Some of the left over marines went into 8th, and formed two assault squads on foot, this is probably all the assault marines I need. There are 80 assault marines, with the rest of the space put aside for cent
