What's purpose of the ''artillery leader''?

[[VDV108]Hans]

I can't tell the difference between artillery leader and infantry leader, only difference is artillery leader costs much more but does the same thing, so what's the point, you can argue that you they have radio but why pick 40 point units while you can just pick 15 point artillery observer

In the next patch if you place Artillery Leader next to Artillery then the Artillery can use the Radio Trait of the Leader ... finally!

Other than that they are generally worth taking in divs with limited Infantry Tabs anyway as it saves Activation Points and allows to to use slots for regular inf units instead.

strong leader, you have generally a full squad compared to say a two or three man.

Their intended purpose is a little off, and as mentioned the coming patch is really going to add complexity to infantry.

Not only that, but the units that already get radio will also have less dispersion
