Based on the data I posted above, there is a 56% chance one of our Leutnants will command a platoon with or without another Leutnant serving as Assistant Platoon Commander. If [@Starboard Watch][@Jamesyco][@CaptainBritton] and I could roll a percentile dice, it will tell whether your character is a Platoon commander or an assistant platoon commander. If one is the Plt cdr and one is an assistant, we could put two characters in the same platoon or put the assistant in a platoon with an NPC who eventually gets KIA and the character then ascends to the Platoon commander position.

Roll 1d100. If the outcome is 1 - 56, your character is a Platoon Commander. If the result is a 57 - 100, your character is an assistant. Then we'll talk about who goes where after that. 

Which platoon/Company will our characters go to? More than likely, the Regimental commander will not allow one company to have its three platoons all lead by Leutnants if there are oberleutnants available. The junior lieutenants will be spread around. This way, every company will have at least one Oberleutnant as a Platoon Commander. Only the Number 1 Company has two Oberleutnants or seasoned lieutenants as Platoon Commanders. [color=aba000][b]I recommend we fill the Number 2 and Number 3 companies of the I Battalion first.[/b][/color] Unless of course someone wants to lead a Machine Gun platoon?
