Default The codex lied to me!

It says that 2-6 squads are in a platoon but later in the rules it says 2-5!

i think you might be getting confused between a platoon and a force organisation chart. the foc allows 2-6 troops chioces, and an imperial guard infantry platoon (consisting of 1 command squad and between 2-5 infantry squads) counts as a single troops chioce on said foc.

so for a platoon you can have 2-5 squads (plus the command) and in any given army you can have from 2-6 platoons.

savvy?

a remnent squad counts toward the 2-5 infantry squad limit sadly... i know it's very poorly worded, but this comes from the techpriests who play-tested the codex! (and the games devs too...)

cheers!

the wording about remnents may say "... may include and additional squad of 5-9 guardsmen", however you're still bound by the constraints listed at the top of the page of 1 command squad + 2-5 infantry squads.
that reference about 'additional' is a typo from the 3rd edition platoon entry...

like i said, it's very poorly worded, (it was writen in part by both pete hains & graham mcniel), but infantry platoons are still limited to no more than 6 component units;
1 command squad
2-5 infantry squads

cheers!
