That was the stupidest idea I've ever heard. I think you are trying too hard to be funny.
It's actually not that stupid. Yes, it was designed to be compeltely assinine, but given all the new facets--I think it can be workable. Squads unseating and installing leaders can add a very interesting aspect to the game. If not a feature of the main arena, It can, at the very least, become a feature of a scenario.
So, in short, I'm disregarding your comment because I think that your tribute to the Bald Eagle is far too cheesy.
