Hi folks, I swear I have now waited at least 3 months for one of my leaders to be able to form a Division. He has a strategic rating of 2 and has not been active for 7 or 8 turns. Fair enough - it's the luck of the dice but I'm sure
he should still be able to form a Division. How does this reflect reality?
If your superior officer tells you that you are now a Division commander surely you would be able to form a Division?
I'm not sure why the inactive rule has been extended. I can understand that it is used to reflect cautious or defensive commanders - that was it's original idea and I think it works fairly well - but why can't I form a Division? I think this was mentioned in another post recently. Also why can't an inactive commander use the evade option?
Any other options that you know that cannot be used by an inactive commander?
The fact that evade can be used by units without a commander at all
but not by a stack with an inactive commander just seems plain daft to me
and can result in odd stack micomanagement.
Talking of odd micromanagement I won't yet go into the weirdness of moving Divisions from Corps to Corps because one Corps commander has gone inactive on the eve of a battle (also mentioned in a thread elsewhere I think)
I thought that maybe it should be impossible to remove Divisions from inactive commander stacks but then other odd play styles may result such as moving lone Divisions into areas before deciding which Corps stack to join before battle. How to prevent gamey play?
Cheers, Chris
