Militia*
*
These militia formations can be used to portray any number of militia or splinter militarist/terrorist groups that had a part to play in one or more of the Lebanese civil wars and other conflicts.  Some of the major players have their own formations but there are too many factions to all get unique units.*
*
Militias can use a variety of captured equipment, as well as equipment supplied from outside groups or nations (their benefactors).  Hoowever most of the time the militia groups will have no other small arms than what the company formation provides, and usually will not have too many armored vehicle of consequence -- though for short times the militarist militias did have substantial quantities of all kinds of vehicles.  A single artillery piece or a battery of rocket launchers is not uncommon.*
