It should be the job of the dungeon master to add in details as they need them to fit their world and narrative.
I think some guidelines should exist to help the Game Master. There is no need for complicated rules, something like heavy armored platoons get an initiative penalty but reduces the damage suffered by 1 or 2 points; longer weapon platoons having an init bonus or the first attack when colliding with the enemy...

Also, 1HP lost does not equal one actual death of a unit. You can think of the HD as the unit's accumulated strength that decreases as causalities on the field are lost.

When two platoons engage each other, the game master and player rolls 2d6, then subtract their opponent’s total from their HD total as “casualties”
Although the word is in quotation marks it may give the wrong idea.
