Imperial Guard FOC and platoons?

[Herzlos]

Edit: Realised my first question was answered right under the platoon selection in the rules...

Question: Can I use a veteran squad as an infantry squad in a platoon, or does it need to be a separate unit?

I.e. I have a Platoon with an HQ, Infantry Squad and Veteran squad, is that legal?

Not in the slightest

A Veteran Squad is a Troop choice by it's lonesome, just like a Penal Squad. An Infantry Platoon specifically stats what types of squads it can include under it's description in the army list: namely 1 Platoon Command Squad, 2-5 Infantry Squads, 0-5 Heavy Weapon Squads, 0-2 Special Weapon Squads, and 0-1 Conscript Squads.

Vets are seperate squads and require a seperate FOC slot.

That's what I suspected, thanks
