agree, it would help to have a clear id as to who this is (though you can work it out), but its going to be another demand on the game processing routine ... and we don't really need PoN slowing down ....
For "you can work it" out you mean "if you know exactly where all the theatre boundries are and the senority of all your *** generals" then you know it. In practice simply finding a theatre C-in-C for many countries is a time consuming task - and there is no way of telling if you got it wrong.

Were **** generals/admirals used in the period? The US didn't have many, the US Navy they were mostly appointment ranks - i.e. the rank came from appointment to a specific post and they reverted to a lower rank when they left the post.
I think it would be better if Theatre commanders were appointed - and at a cost to demote. There would be a penalty on higher senority *** in the theatre, but you would not get the problem with command changing when you rail a general through the theatre.
