Meh, overall Arnold is better because he has dread rather than chiv. (At least my belief is that Dread is better than Chiv due to command giving you a huge morale boost anyway)

Still, Hans is nothing without a decent force that can be replenished and/or fast movement. And he's pretty much alone and with Bavarians, Austrians and rebel Swabians knocking at his door from all directions.

Personally, I think that a conversion/appeal would be a nice ability to make non loyalist troops desert more frequently (and possibly over to the loyalist force rather than being disbanded)
