So has anyone actually gotten to a mission were you get to call in reinforcements?

not saying you're wrong, but squad-based missions like those in Vietnam have always been a big part of the series. Soldiers: Heroes of WWII and Faces of War focused almost exlusively on small-scale operations. Men of War and Red Tide also had a fair percentage of stealth-based missions.

I made a custom mission with reinforcement button so with editor it's possible.

reggs, in fairness that's your opinion, and not saying you are wrong, but that's because you STARTED with Assault Squad, a lot of the other games are a bit more of a challenge where you have limited troops. To be honest I prefer that than calling in reinforcements. I like to know exactly what I have and what I can achieve realistically.

Say a mission with 10 men only, can i really storm that MG bunker and take over the gun? No. In Assault Squad I can just save up points for a big toy and destroy that MG bunker. I like to have to work with what I've got, not be able to just call in extra stuff.
