Some would think. This is not an issue, because you can just make it right in the editor, but no. This is an issue:
In a total war. Not a military operation thousen of miles from home runned by whiteshirt generals on a map whith a cup of coffie.
In War like WW2 every unit(not only seals) must improvise and adapt or be annihilated.
So if you need a sergeant to be platoon lead because they are all dead, you can't go into the editor first and change.
If my SF recon squad need to relocate fast, they use a nerby car or get picked up by heli.
Great game by the way. =]
