what happens when it gets blown the fuck up? late game its more usefull then early anyway. if its such a weak ability why would you care if pios got it?
I'm not saying its weak, its pretty meh but can be useful. I'm also saying its not suited for other factions.
It also got plenty of drawbacks.
-You need to retreat one squad anyway
-Merging with shocks you're loosing armor
-Merging with guards you're loosing awesome coats
-Merging with weapon teams you're loosing menpower
And if you seriously can't see balance issue with this ability on wehr side, then let me point you at cost difference of pios/osttruppen reinforce and pgren reinforce costs.
Now do the same comparisons between conscripts and what they can reinforce.
See the blatant cost balance issue yet?
