You can always roll the escort capability back to somewhere in between stock and GWX...

Granted 30 out of 40 thousand never made it home, but by my math that's still a 25% survival rate whereas GWX seems to be discernibly less than that. As much as I enjoy GWX, (and I truly do), it's still a game and for my taste I'd like to have at least a historical chance of getting out of it alive.
