Poly Count "?

Hi everyone, I haven't used the RTS kit much, but I decided that I am going to make a squad based Rts. The player will control 9 units. I want the player to be able to zoom in very close to the units, so they would have to be pretty detailed. If anyone has played Tom Clancey's EndWar, I want the models to be detailed like that. Since there would only be 18 units ingame at once, could the character models be the same amount of polies as a player model in fps?

I guess so, just be sure to make a few LOD's per model, otherwise you'll run into troubles, remember that with zoom out the player would still be able to see all units on screen, plus environment.
