What purpose would such squads have at all? They only add a bit more micromanagement and solutions to the eng problem were already posted (solutions that might even slightly reduce micromanagement ie. less eng units/devices to care for/about)

I think the ideas was to have Combat Engineers not able to build bases or forts - they just blow things up! There might be different engineers for fixing vehicles too - I don't play the mod but I recall four or five different types of engineers that did different things.

LOL, thanks so I can avoid this mod - but there are indeed ppl. who want more microstuff I wonder if for them native squads should also be created. But each single island it´s own [:D] And when you accidently ship Munda natives to eg. Rabaul they refuse to work and go on strike to get back to their native place

The purpose of the "eaters" is to keep the overall unit size and supply consumption at the original levels while reducing the unit's capabilities. If you would just reduce the number of engineer devices - and corresponding support - by 30-40% to reduce the capabilities, you would also reduce the supply requirements and the size i.e. the shipping requirements of the units considerably, thus creating imbalances / undesired consequences. Also less devices > less VPs for destroyed units.

Those extra "eaters" should also enable the units to survive better if attacked.
