So the thing here is every one of those soldiers is a squad leader with an entire squad during battles. But squads move together all as one unit so.....how are they effectively different from a single soldier?

By the people who did Battle Brothers.


Battle Brothers also had that stupid and ugly but easier to program pawn system. Or whatever it is called. Where it's the head and shoulders on a disc to represent people.

This also sounds dumb. I may get this game anyway because why not but the creators have a real problem depicting units on a screen over multiple games now.
