Hi!
That means according to dictionary "restore life"!
Is that replacing "medic"!?

If you lose infantry units in a group, you can bring back those units. It already seems over-powered, and adds too much un-realism to the game I think.
Perhaps this should be toned down, so it just RALLIES a unit that is broke. That should be strong enough.

I think it's ok if it has a long recharge. Allows you to bring some elite infantry units back up to strength. They're so much more vulnerable than tanks.

I think it is designed to replicate some form of force replenishment. We'll have to see what you guys think after using it for a while. Bear in mind that (having played the game a lot) if it seems to make it too easy for you, then it's probably just about right

.
But if it does seem to be too powerful, we can extend the recharge, as you say.
Cheers

It should really be a medic - the idea he is patching up your wounded instead of resurrecting them

But, exactly those units were/are irreparable!
Losses on Volksgrenadier or any other infantry unit could be easily replaced; but Waffen SS or airborne troops!!
Or everyone can chance the datas on the "Squads" excel chart in "data"-ordner, due to his opinion!

I must admit, that this suggestion is better!

If infantry really are more valuable than tanks, then this just supports the fact it is over-powered.
I believe, when units are increasing morale, the effects of medics in the field are already represented in this as is.
One of my professors mentioned he was a while stationed in Nam. He'd see groups go into the field as fives and sixes, always coming out as threes or fours. There was no magical power-up available even back then to increase these numbers. Sorry.

One the one hand, at least it's only adding one infantry per use, but this is enough to move a unit from just one man, up to full strength in a single turn. Some examples? MGs, bazookas, mortars, etc. You double the strength from 1 man to 2 men in these units, effectively putting them to full strength in one turn.
I just don't know...
It also doesn't make sense that units who are totally cut off, and surrounded, can magically pull out extra men out of the wood-work. And if you're an elite unit you get a free elite replacement... Hmm!
