No Leader Message

[Saddlesore]

What does the "no leader" in the unit box mean?  The unit isn't detached, but just says "no leader" when leaders are in command range?  Thanks.

Are you playing with the Rifle Fire Effects optional rule on? From page 26 of the Help file for FIW:

"Select Rifle Fire Effects to have special fire results applied to fire from 
American units equipped with rifles.  This rule is based on the higher accuracy
of rifles and the inclination of American units to specifically target Enemy 
leaders.  Based on a probability, the fire results of rifle fire may cause a "Loss 
of Leaders".  When this occurs, the target unit is flagged as having "No
Leaders" and from that point on will be unable to recover from Disruption.  
There is no way to recover from this state since the training of Enemy soldiers 
did not give them the initiative to act on their own.  This rule also doubles the 
probability that rifle fire will cause a check for individual leader loss in the target 
hex."

Thanks for help and information.  I didn't spot that in the rules.
