Can't remember which) that have an organic SPA battery.

I normally do go a couple of battles without repairing, but it would make it far more of a challenge (in a good way) and make people far more cautious if the buy points were physically restricted to that degree.

If you restricted by say -80%, using rough calculations off the top of my head, that you could repair one or two vehicles per battle, or replace infantry losses, or else wait a few battles and have enough points to repair a few platoons in their entirety.

What is a mechanized infantry company headquarters and how is it different than just a mechanized infantry company? Do you mean mechanized infantry battalion instead?
