Patterson?

The manual says 3-star leaders have 12 CP. Patterson in the Bull Run scenario has 3 stars, but seems to have either 2 or 0 CP, definitely not 12. I am aware he has the "over-cautious" special trait, but that one's listed as resulting in a -4 CP reduction, which should still leave him with 8 CP? What am I missing? Thanks in advance.

I think CPs are halved if your leader has no command (i.e. Div, Corp, HQ).

independent command: -50%. Then you apply the insult to the injury, ie the -4 CP, this leave you 2. Nice leader

I see! Thanks.
(From what I've heard, it's not really doing injustice to the historical Patterson, but then I don't really know much about the chap.)

So the minuses are applied after the halving for independence? That's just evil!

yes, but the bonus too, so a very good leader (ie one which has a bonus because of a superior mind
) is able to act independently pretty well. Vae Victis for the others!

Is it possible for leaders to have a negative CP count? I think I've seen a -2 rating for one or two of mine.

Yes, I have had negative CP's for McClellan. I had to load him up with balloons and signals.
