This is short and to the point. I’m sharing it so everyone knows: If Bjorn tells you “no” to a new special forces unit, that goes back to Eric and there you shouldn’t expect flexibility on it.

Folks, before this gets too far, fair warning:
I’m going to cast a very cold eye on any special forces beyond what’s already in the series — and those are small units.
There is simply no logic for such forces in the context of early 17th century warfare. Keep in mind that the TOTAL size of the USE army, except for a few units here and there, is three divisions. That’s somewhere between 30,000 and 40,000 soldiers, which is about the size of armies of the time.
