One character per player is definitely the way to go with a couple of NPCs to pull guard duty when the PCs are out away from the vehicles and fill in the gaps in skills.
As for the major dam, it'd probably have already been attacked earlier in the war or is too substantial for the fairly limited amounts of explosives PCs are likely to be carrying. Depending on it's construction, several tonnes might be needed to make a dent in it.
I've had great success in minimising the equipment and stores PC groups have - limits them to just a few options the GM can easily predict and prepare for while keeping them hungry and taking more risks to acquire needed items.
