Any way to put units back in the reserves during a mission ?

Fans of the old Panzer General series rejoice for the release of Panzer Corps. Following in the footsteps of the popular SSI masterpiece and sharing with the General series the same level of engagement and strategic depth, Panzer Corps will keep an unmistakable "PG feeling" whilst improving and refining the gameplay and balance. Panzer Corps will feature 26 scenarios on 21 unique maps, covering most major battles of the European Theatre of World War II and including a few hypothetical 'what if' scenarios based on your actions. Now expanded with a full-war mega-campaign and the Afrika Corps and Allied Corps releases!

I could f.ex. start with a lot of paratroopers, then free up their slots for other units after they have secured their objectives. Another option is to go with a lot of fighter aircraft early, then replace some of them with strategic or tactical bombers once most of the airwar is over.
It would give more options to adjust the force during the mission.

One problem I see is that this would drastically change game balance, and this would require to redo all existing scenarios (both stock ones and in separate DLCs). For example, in most missions air struggle is hot early on, but after you achieve air superiority, you can easily remove several fighters from the map and place some ground units instead. Consequently, all missions would become much easier.

Since it would be optional to do it, I don't have a problem with it making the game easier. You could charge prestige points for it as well, to balance it. It would let player try out more strategies, which I feel is a good thing.
