Either they're "scenario-only" units, or they aren't. At large multiples you don't buy them in a free-form game on the basic maps - the situations in which they are "worth" their cost are few and far between.

Disclaimer: I feel that way about a lot of the 1-specialty infantry, that they're overcosted for free-form games. Henry Cobb demonstrated elsewhere that HWT are not worth their cost in almost every case, and MAR and ENG need scenario-specific goals to make them worthwhile.
