I was hoping someone may have made a mod where you can make a platoon of soldiers that will follow you. You can give them there weapons, ammo, armor, etc... Is there anything like this? And if not how can I make it? I was looking at the anchorage unit making thing where you can set it up so you have a sniper and such but I really wouldn't know how to adapt that to a individual mod to use freely like that and customize the weapon and such of the soldier. So any ideas?

Go onto Fallout3nexus.com and search for Enclave Commander. I think this is vary similiar to what you are looking for.

Does that mod cover the suicidal members in your group to not be suicidal?

Looks good, I will consider it, but considering it is still a beta I would rather wait. Is there any others?

Then you want http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=1925.

Squad of 3 to 4 guys (not including self) able to be equiped with
whatever you may wish and are smart enough not to run right infront of you or each other while shoot. Can this be done?

Enclave commander does that. Even though its in beta, I do not think it is being developed anymore, but there arent any 'loose ends' or things that dont work with it, it works very well and is a great mod, I suggest you try it at least. Phalanx is also great.

Well which do you say is better?

The thing you're asking for sounds just like my mod Phalanx. Which you like better will depend on just what you expected to see, I think.

I'm going to have an update out for it in a few days, if you do try Phalanx you will want to grab that update, it will have optimizations and bugfixes in the followers weapon selection system and fixes a bug in the pip-boy's 2-way radio.

I will try out phalanx. When you release this update please let me know then I will download it.

I think Phalanx will do what you're looking for. But here is what I use to do the same thing. I use the Better Caravans & Companions mod along with Sharing & Caring Companions. The BCC mod allows you to recruit all of the vanilla followers at one time and your Karma don't matter. (I'm usually a good guy but like to "free" Clover from her slavemaster.)

So, as I play along, I pick them up as I go and park them at my base for when I want to storm the wastes!
