Playing with 1.06 there seems to be a bug that when you embed an inactive leader with a brigade it activates him for the turn. Theoretically the next turn you could take him out of the brigade then re-embed him to activate him.

Doesn't work with division commanders but because you can drop and re-form corps at will you could (again only in theory I'm sure no one actually would) always activate all your corps commanders.

Could anyone else confirm this bug is a general one and not just me?

Thanks!

What he is talking about, is put an inactivated (inactive, not locked) general as the brigadier of a brigade. He says that this leader becomes activated. you can then remove them from command of the brigade, and have them lead an active corps, or form a division (you can set them of aggressive settings and they get no command penalties for the turn). This circumvents the inactivation system, where a leadre must past a strategic test every round to see if they are active, basically making any general 'active' whenever you want them to be. I have not tested this myself, so cannot validate.

However, I would call this an exploit, rather than a bug (since it doesn't break the game, unless you actually follow through and abuse the system!). I guess it is an issue for PBEM.

McNaughton's explained what I mean to a T. I suppose it is more of an exploit but there have been a few times I have to remember not to embed inactive generals when I would've done without this 'free' activation. It is still a bit annoying
