Sergeant Mechanics
In this version of Dawn of War 2 there are new mechanics to how squads work. Instead of having the amount of troops based of resources, they are based on sergeants. If a sergeant dies, the squad dies, and the sergeant must be revived.
If squad members are killed, but the sergeant is alive, more troops can be added to the sergeant's squad.1up.com: Dawn of War 2 Preview (November 20, 2008)
