I'm still relatively new, so take what I say with a grain of salt...

1. Assgrens aren't a great substitute for Grens, though they do work good in conjunction with each other. Can't speak much for Ostruppen.

2. While they definitely seem to be the weakest when compared directly to USF Riflemen, I very rarely use them in a pure 1v1 fight. There is always an HMG, Mortar, or Sniper being used in conjunction. I tend to use my Grens as a lure sometimes. One model dies quick, the other three seem like an easy kill.

3. A forward retreat point for Ostheer would be great, but I'm not entirely sure what it will fix. Grens still have the same combat abilities, they can just get back to it quicker.

Anyways, correct me if I'm terribly wrong but isn't the point of the early Ostheer game to utilize all your different infantry in some sort of a triangular support system to control the map until you can get a decent vehicle out, or simply lock down the map for an early game win? I never envisioned that my Gren squads could compete with most of the other infantry out there. To me, they are meant to be used in conjunction which is where the true effectiveness lies.
