what happen when a cons merge with other squads like shocks?
I am not sure if I can explain this in simpler way.
Entities are influenced by 2 types of properties, entity properties and squad properties.
Conscripts entities that have merged to another squad use the entity properties of conscripts and squad properties of the squad they have merged into.
Veterancy bonuses as far as I know are squad entities wile things like target size, reinforcement cost and time, pop and vision are entity properties.
They do get the default weapon of the squad they have merged into.
