If you do a coordinated assault with an activated army leader, will the activated army leader override the combat and movement penalties of any of his unactivated corps leaders?

I do not believe that an activated army leader will cancel unactivated corps leaders' penalties. When attacking, I have noticed in the log that the army leader arrives earlier than the penalised corps indicating that the movement penalties are still in effect. I would assume from that that the combat penalties are still in effect.

Since the army leader is the senior leader and is active, I would guess the inactive leaders of fighting corps would not suffer combat penalties. However an inactive corps leader in a different region probably wouldn't arrive in time for the battle as you mentioned.

I need to do some testing.

I have noticed that an active army and an inactive corps, when starting in the same region, will arrive in a target region at different times...the inactive corps takes longer to arrive.

True. Although we are playing with the delayed combat option. Often all troops will arrive before major combat starts. Even though those inactive corps are receiving corps and army combat leadership benefits, I think they still suffer the inactive combat penalties dependent on how much of the region is controlled. Not sure though.
