Yeah, that one is really bad, it's a pity great generals like Moltke, The Younger and Karl von Bülow have this trait, because their stats are really impressive, but this trait makes them sometimes unreliable, but the game does a GREAT job in balancing it out in a historical wayt reflecting the behavior of the leaders. As some historians have said before, "if it wasn't for "von Bülow" over cautiouness Paris could have fallen in 1914, but he wasn't "as brave" as von Kluck that basically "assaulted" the defenses of Paris getting as near as 12 miles from the city, but as von Bülow didn't acted in the same coordinated way and advanced much more slowly, that created a gap between the armies which was exploited by the french with the army they were forming in the city (so if von Bülow assaulted the french forces like von Kluck did, then there wouldn't be enough time for this french army to gather together in time!) with the help of the british and then we have the First Battle of the Marne and the beginning of the trench warfare with the stabilization of the front.
But I think "unqualified" is even worse, but "quickly angered" is also bad, also the game gives us good generals with such traits (what is great indeed to reflect history! I love this game!
), like von Blumenthal that is a bit impatient and so and so...I think we have to learn to deal with our leaders "flaws" as well as their "qualities".
But unqualified remains the one I hate the most, as in the german army there should be no unqualified man in command!
