As stated above, I a pretty sure the Mod Team would have chosen a different path if they were allowed to balance conscripts and some other things, but scope. They worked with what they could.
Well the problem with that is that when Conscripts get into scope Penal will not be the scope...
I have to point out here that I am not blaming the mod team.
It is simple, a re-balance all infantry available before minute 1 is needed.
