Sapper escorts should be comparable in movement capacity to the pawn they escort

Because having a single frail guy with a machine pistol trying to keep up with a normal guy with molotov cocktails is hilarious, but doesn't really accomplish the the job of escorting very well.

Also, the guy with the grenades doesn't really wait for escorts to catch up, leaving himself dangerously exposed in this circumstance.

...and it becomes even more hilarious when his party has two soldiers wielding rocket launchers...

Sappers needs lots of upgrades:

* The shield wielders should be at the front...of the sapper, not just go ahead.
* All ranged should also participate aiming at the same wall spot.
* When sappers start to attack walls, sometimes only 4 hits are enough to demolish a section which is way faster than throwing grenades, which may not always land on the intended spot. As of now hitting a wall with your hands is more effective than explosive bombs, for the enemy AI that is.
