Possible exploit with dead/missing units?

Unread postby Eqqman » Sat May 09, 2020 4:30 am

Every so often when playing a campaign scenario I'll get a message that one or more units that had been previously killed has been reconstituted. This left me wondering, if I know unit A is required to appear in future scenario B, can I get free steps by sending all of a unit back to the force pool so that the game will spawn a fresh one? Or does a reconstituted unit draw its steps from the HQ force pool first?

It's not that much of an exploit.

You get 3 free steps, worth 15 prestige, and in exchange you lose all the veterancy (xp) of the unit.

Also, the timeless advice regarding cheesy strategies applies here as well: if you don't like cheese, don't eat it! :D

Cheers!
