   I have an Austrian army so I have my fair share of "challenged" commanders. I always keep them in the thick of the action but worry a bit about the proposed rule to force others to do the same. I was thinking instead of decreasing the CinC;s command radius that we try something more along the lines of.
   "Sub commanders must attempt to remain in command radius of at least 1/3 of their units rather than 1 unit as now"
   This would mean that Sub commanders could release some of their troops to the CinC but in practice they would usually have several units with them.

   Also

   "Units must use their own Sub Commanders abilities over the CinC's abilities if both are within Command radius"
   This would hopefully keep all of the Commanders involved in the game.

   Any thoughts?

   Can´t agree with the second proposal
   ""Units must use their own Sub Commanders abilities over the CinC's abilities if both are within Command radius""

   After all YOU are the CinC and you KNOW that your subcommander is less than idoneal so you are over there to try to save the day by yourself... Imhop it is so that was done in real life by Archiduque Charles when he was in position to do it...

   "Units must use their own Sub Commander's abilities over the CinC's abilities if both are within Command radius"

   As far as I can see that is the current rule.

   pg72 says that the subcommander's vigor is used for units in his command "as long as they are within his range". The commander can only "place any units that are out of command, in command, if they are within his range".

   So you cannot choose to use the commander's vigor or tactics on a unit that is within command range of its subcommander - you have to use the subcommanders. You need to ensure a unit is not in command of its subcommander to do this.

   The only time I can see a commander can "override" a subcommander if both are in command range is to direct one combat - but that can only be to declare a bonus against a poor enemy commander (and does not stop the enemy claiming a bonus against the unit's poor subcommander).

   Hi

   Remember that a Commander does *not* have Vigor or Tactics ratings.
