And mine did not fit together that well either. But they are better
than the old "shoe boxes".

No. you must pay 25 pts to have a detachment HQ. A captain to lead the
detachment is a further 25 points, but is optional.

You can field small, flexible detachments without needing a captain, but
you have to pay the first 25pts cost.

 Transport (2) = 2 stands. inc termies.
