I'd report you for trolling, but instead I'll give you an English lesson.
If you say 1-2 [noun] then the noun is plural despite the possibility of there being only 1 of something. So when I say 1-2 squads, it can be either 1 squad or 2 squad or anything. Even losing 1 squad to something uncounterable is a travesty in an RTS.
Are you seriously basing your agument over some grammar and spelling? Can I get a more substantive response please? Drop it.
...Why would they want to facilitate recon-divebombing a squads retreating back to their base? That kind of uncounterable gameplay is the single most cancerous thing about this game, and they buff it?
If I say tank, it means 1 tank.
If I say tanks, it means at least 2.
Similar.
If I say squad, it means 1 squad.
If I say squads, it means at least 2.
So when someone says about wiping squads in base, it's obvious that it's, most of the time, about mass blob and mass retreat. Why?
Because timing for 1 squad is really difficult for dive bomb user, whle it's easy to move away 1 squad (not to mention that recon+dive bomb to have a chance to wipe 1 squad is not a good deal and I havent seen it even once during my XXXX hours).
But when you retreat 4 squads which are blocking themselfs in base so you cannot move them away instantly, then it has to be mass retreat.
PS
If it is so easy I'd be glad ti see you doing that without any problmes, each game
