if you have the HQ entity have an action or ability that spawns a squad that should work fine and achieve the right effect....although i guess its a bit late to add that in?  :P

 Well conscripts train really fast. So that's really a non-issue
 by now.
 
 As for Bastex, oh god. I got TONS of good ideas, but no one
 cares :(
You know, there are many people in the country today who, through no fault of their own, are sane. Some of them were born sane. Some of them became sane later in their lives. It is up to people like you and me who are out of our tiny little minds to try and help these people overcome their sanity

 I did!
 A variant on PE Panther BG call-ins for Russians
 (With T34s) To guarantee that IS2 don't upstage the T34
 in sheer numeric mass ;) With upgrade on the call-in
 through unlocks.
 
 T34 Leader Tank having a +1 Vet aura (As an upgrade)
 (Acquired through vet)(One at a time) encourages
 British style clumping of Tank army, but +vet isn't as
 strong. Russians tanks massed in armies, not independant
 all over the place.

 T34's get the cage upgrade :) Not the SU85 :)
 
 Perhaps nerf SU85 initially, reduce it's cost, and put
 a + HEAT shell global upgrade on it. None of that Cage
 stuff :)
 
 Infantry conscript (vet0) Stresky (vet1), Guards (vet3)
 are same truppen just diff vet? Fine! :) Make conscripts,
 stresky, Guards upgrade through veterancy. Unlock needs
 to be paid for, of course. But it would encourage people
 caring at least a little for their infantry, yes?

 Zis6/Bunker OP of Points. If Soviets are balanced on
 no-OPing of points, then US/Brit ally will rapidly make them
 OP. The shoutcast fight had +5 fuel points :p Soviet
 never had more than half the map, no OPing of points,
 and still came out with 2x IS2 fairly quick? Nooo :)
 Part of how Soviets can Zerg so fast is that they are
 spared the expense of having to unlock (IS2)(Like PE)
 or build OPs. I believe different game mechanics might
 be in order, here :p

 OstHeer Train station HQ : Why not ? :) Scruffs made
 model, and with HQ sitting next to a map edge, just make
 Railroad part of HQ building. Represents how units came a
 long way to get 'here'. Functions both with East and West
 (either way they travelled far). Doesn't need a lot of work
 and is nice to look at.

 - I want Stuka J87 ! :) (already in Iron Cross mod)
 - I want Wespe!!! (Pz38(t) variant?) More so!
 - I want KV2 and SU122 swapped. And KV2 1-call only
 (In 1943-1945... those were extinct) :)
 - I'd like KV1 :)
 - ISU152 is JagdPanther not KT ;) Or JagdPershing kinda.
 Give it StuH42/105 abilities as per Men of War/Historical.
 While keeping the AT abilities, of course. 152mm is...
 ouch.
 
 : Slow down firing rates of IS2 and ISU152 but up their
 punch :)
 
  : AT Dogs! :D
  : I can keep this up all day ;)

 ... Need to go to work :( I'll be back!

you could always just change the ISU 152 to the ISU 122. Looks very similar, but had same gun as IS 2 (good AT more than HE)
