Damn good question!
I don't have anything definitive to offer but I can say that I've seen some highly credentialed CP commanders left languishing as two-star generals despite participation in several major battles, only to gain promotion through some later undistinguished encounter. On that basis I'm guessing that kudos is distributed through the mix of commanders present in a combat according to the sequence in which their respective units are engaged.
