Commanders

[Glenn Saunders]

I often thought Rommel in T41 should be able to lead from the front.Perhaps imparting a movement bonus to units he was stacked with.

I ask for this when we started testing T41 as this was something the ok Operation Crusader game had. But John didn't want to take the Series in this directions. There is already a movement bonus for higher Quality Troops and reading the accounts, ROMMEL was everywhere.

I don't recall all of thhe reasoning why the idea didn't fly but it did there and so I don't think we would add something like this now. If we did it would be for a new title and given what I have on the TODO list, this rule doesn't seem to fit - let alone how we could (we couldn't obviously) go back over games like Budapest, Sicily, Korsun and Kharkov, trying to figure out WHO we should add that would rate as ROMMEL type leaders on each side.
