I don't really troop build in general, except when a few characters seemed to warrant it. It really depends on what type of squad or troop you're trying to build. If it's a spec-ops unit or a S.W.A.T. team, then about 3 to 7 would be right. If you're looking at making a squad, then it should be around 8-13. A platoon would be about 16-50 and a company would be about 80-200+. If it's more of a regiment or battalion, then at least 300 to 1000.

Of course, these numbers are based on typical military definitions and I wouldn't expect anyone to meet those totals (unless you're a diehard G.I.Joe collector and have a lot of open flat space). Scaling them down a bit, I came up with these numbers for action figures:

Fireteam: 2 - 3
Squad: 4 - 7
Platoon: 8 - 15
Company: 16 - 35
Battalion: 36 - 70
Regiment: 71 - 100
