If that bothers you, try my house rule: 
No unit may be re-activated (after its own action, or before... but 
basically by a command from someone else) more than ONCE per game 
turn. So this limts that somewhat and stops any one unit from 
outpacing everyone else.

("Sir, why is three section 700 meters ahead 
of the platoon, and how did they kill 4 tanks and three enemy squads 
in the last five minutes?..... Well, Private, it's cause I told them 
repeatedly to attack. It made them run faster and shoot 
more...really...I'm not kidding.....no, I am not mentally 
incompetent... ")
