Rapid Conscription

Actually it is a good ability in some situations, like you have 3 PPSh cons and defending some point, make this ability on and get free squads while your opponent needs to pull back his troops.

This ability makes a lot of sense for soviets but not really for Ostheer. It's a lot easier to lose 6 models as soviets without losing full squads than is is to lose 6 models from only 4 man squads. Plus is costs more to reinforce your squads as ost and you get the weaker osstruppen as opposed to cons. Plus most commanders with relief infantry aren't really meta commanders. Lightning war being the only exception, has g43s in it which makes seems odd to go along with osstruppen.

The two abilities seem backwards to me. Lose core infantry (cons) which come in big squad sizes and get up to 2 more, while with ost you lose core infantry and high reinforcement cost units for up to 3 weaker squads. I don't get it. I've used both abilities effectively but for 120 to get 1-2 osstruppen just isn't worth it imo. I guess using relief infantry would be more effective the second time as you only need to lose osstruppen instead of other units. Grens cost 30 mp to reinforce x 12 (for 2 squads) = 360mp and you get 2x 200mp osstruppen = 400mp. Seems a bit silly. You also risk losing vet squads trying to get your relief infantry.

Although I could be wrong. It might be 4 men dead for replacement squad. It also might only cost 90 muni for ost ability.

THE MOST UNDERRATED SOVIET ABILITY.

It may seem trivial (2 squads? 480 MP EZ) but no. It'snot about losing a squad or losing a battle, you just have to use it when in heavy combat and retreat your critical squads.


MAKE SURE you do not lose any, not even 1 squad, and use it only in heavy combat. Find targets if you have won the main engagement but still only have gained one squad.

My record was 12 conscript squads. I only bought 4,t he rest were from the ability. My K/D was disgusting in that game, but I won. Also PPSH blobs are fun.
