Commanders

Message par rpm » ven. 31 juil. 2026 19:47

With regard to commanders, the rule book mentions a CinC, (army or corps commander) and division commanders who recieve their orders from the CinC. Yet, I've noticed that in several scenarios (Teugen Hausen for example) that the army lists has both division and the individual brigade commnders, while other scenarios do not. My question is do these brigade commanders also roll for CP's? Can division commanders transfer CP's to subordinate brigade commanders? What criteria is used for including or not including them?

Thanks.
rpm.

I would suggest that any game with 300 or fewer points would have only the C. in C rolling for C.P. Division commanders roll for their CP on activation. If there are too many points available for distribution by the C in C the mechanics of the order system will not work correctly. CP should be in short supply.

I agree with this approach. Keeping CPs relatively scarce makes the command system more meaningful and prevents the CinC from having too many points to distribute. Having division commanders roll for CPs on activation also seems like a good way to represent a more decentralized command structure in larger games.

I think the main point that still needs clarification is the role of brigade commanders when they are specifically listed in a scenario. If they are included as commanders, it would be useful to know whether they generate their own CPs, receive CPs from their division commander, or are simply there for historical/scenario purposes.

I agree. That was my source of confusion. What role do the brigade commanders play in the rules? Since they are listed with ratings in the scenarios, this would suggest that they roll for their own CP's. Since my interest is in early Revolutionary battles, I think I'll just stick with the CinC and Divisional commanders. I think this would more accurately reflect the inefficient command structure of the Ancien Regime armies of the period.
