Well for one, you can't blob infantry you don't have because I keep bombing the hell out of your forward retreat point when you mass retreat.

Then is the problem that Soviets need FRP like three other factions do, or that three factions need to be like Soviets?

I am not disagreeing with the disparity of FRPs per se, but I do think that FRP is a good thing especially for larger maps. If Soviets and Ostheer also had FRP, then I would think that's a better solution than no one has it, given that three factions already do and it's a workable mechanic, plus there are mods out there that allow Soviets or Ostheer to utilize a form of FRP.

As for species, well I'm glad I'm not classed as a dickface.

1. I'll take that as "no I won't prove it go prove it yourself"

2. You should focus on thinking over replies rather than trying to find a rebuttal.

Another thing to consider:

Without choosing doctrines, OKW, USF and UKF do not have halftracks. FRPs are a form of immobile sources of reinforcement. Are we to suggest that OKW also get 251 halftracks, and USF/ UKF swap their doctrinal halftracks with another core unit? All to make the game much more symmetrical?

There is also the tactical disadvantages to having FRPs in the first place. If you set up an FRP in the middle of, say, Red Ball Express, you need to send men in all directions from the FRP source if the enemy took over sectors near your base. OKW can branch out from their FRP source yes, that's kind of the point, but lack of emplacements outside of doctrinal choices means they need to move units around to take back points, or send men to reinforce a position.

End of the day, there are plenty of disadvantages to utilizing forward retreat points. Arguing entirely on the side of time needed for running from base vs FRP, and trying to advocate FRP's removel from only that perspective is, to say the least, idiotic.
