Well, I have my doubts on spreading the clan out in small groups like this, but everything can't ever stay the same. Change is a part of life, so I'll jump in and experiment with this experiment. As long as everything is kept as organized as XG has always been it shouldn't be a problem anyway. I'll comment about it 6 months down the road.
Some clans recruit faster than others, will their members be ready to promote as fast? I've seen a few members that got promoted too fast/ before they were ready and **** just rolled down hill.
Since we are doing smaller squads, it's still 4 squads per company then correct? Otherwise if some clans are spread out over multiple games/ game modes, several smaller squads would come in handy.
