I definitely agree with this. Basically, under the current rules, there is
no good reason to field an IG infantry detachment with more than 3 squads.
You might as well make them seperate squads so you get the benifit of more
flexiblility and easier command. I would be interested in hearing the
rational behind the added cost of the IG command, 96 points to field IG
command units is ridiculous (and I play orks!).

I do see one good thing about the IG though: they can give their
psychers saves. This should defintely help in their survival.
