Battledroids infantry was a lot simpler. Infantry came in squads, each represented by a single counter and because infantry side arms coundnt damage mechs, each squad carried a single anti mech support weapon, either an MG, a Small Laser or an SRM launcher.

Any hit from a battlemech weapon destroyed the squad. No calculating percentages, no carefully keeping count of which platoon has how many men left, you just removed the counter. It made combat a lot quicker and easier, allowing a player to field battalions of infantry along with their mechs if they wanted.
