Honestly? I don't like it. There's no real incentive to not use the
group. Sure you don't need to maintain coherency, but I've never found
that to be a problem. I'm happy to keep them in close to each other if
I've bought a group. Sure you get a bit of a discount to the number of
Special Cards over taking them separately, but still I'm not so keen on
it. There is also now no need to take them separately. Just buy a
battlegroup if you want lots of Titans. So if you want two Titans, they
still only take up ONE Special Card slot. Why buy Titans individually if
you want more than one?

Under the discount system, they were cheaper and only took up one card, but
the penalty was they fought as a formation. If you didn't like this, you
paid full price buy purchasing them individually. Price vs flexibility was
the consideration and I always thought it worked well.

Well, that's my 2cents.
