I would rather see the lieutenant and captain receive massive buffs. You can only field one at a time. They should be performing like paras and giving nasty buffs to allies units.
Global buffs, not local ones. That way lies blobbing and sorrow. I really, really don't want a rethread of the Brits or OKW Officier + Pfusilier blob.
Hey, maybe that would also make back-teching to LT or Captain worthwhile too.
