Applying CO powers to CM

Anyone ever played Advance Wars? You know, the little game series that made war look like a casual board game, where no one seemed to be all that affected by the horrors of war?

I myself used to play a fair bit of it back in the day, and recently have taken to listening to her tunes while playing CM. Then, I thought of something:

What if commanders had CO powers?

A CO power, for those that might not know, is a game altering ability that affects your units, the enemy's units, or even the battlefield in general. Used at the right time, they can turn a losing battle into a winning one.. And if wasted, could screw you over in the long run. One must know when and where to activate it, and how best to use it.

They could range from replenishing squads, increased LoS for units, restocking ammo reserves or even causing damage to units in an area. Some powers are even rather... Controversial.

So, for shits and giggles, if CM played more like Advance Wars, what would YOUR CO power be?

I would probably have the ability I'd like to call BANZI CHARGE , which would make marines faster and have improved melee ability for a short time. It would be perfect for making those tactical pushes and to encourage marines to get up close and personal instead of relying on their guns all the time. You got bayonets, USE EM!

Advanced Wars was the shit. Kanbei was the shit.

Mine would be artillery. Massive barrages aimed at the general direction of the enemy to force them into the caves and into submission.

Play this sound bit when I active my CO power. https://youtu.be/X9E1RZgqEVk?t=1m37s

Dood, Advance Wars was the shit, it's one of the two games that made me go, "Hey, maybe these things aren't so bad" and proceeded to love vidya gams from there on.
