I like it. Allied factions need to be less micro intensive. This is a good step.
i'm not sure they do (see Eldar, DoW2) but any micro they require over the "average" should be in order to make powerful and immediate changes, not simply to do the same things comparable axis squads do at the same cost. i think you can say that the allies generally have some micro intense but more powerful units right now but i also think that there is an issue in that most of the powerful axis units are both strong and low micro (see V, VI vs sherman, ISU; not a great comparison but does make my point).
