I should know this, but.... - K K Rossokolski - 07-03-2010 Commanders in the same hex as subordinate formations,units, or sub-units have a direct command influence. These honchos may be pedestrian or motorised. My question..Does a foot commander mounted on a horse,in a jeep,a 1/2T, a boat, on a tank etc exercise command functions,or does he have to hop off? RE: I should know this, but.... - Kool Kat - 07-03-2010 Hi Rod: :smoke: I always assumed that foot commanders had to dismount to perform their command functions... or else they become motorized commanders by default! ;) Hope you have a wonderful July 4th weekend! :) Another thought Rod... You could create a test scenario with a foot commander... transport... and a couple of other combat units... then experiment with loading the foot commander and see if the other units gain morale benefits, etc. while the foot commander is loaded. :chin: RE: I should know this, but.... - Kool Kat - 07-04-2010 Hi Rod! BTW... when you get your answer... please post it here. I'm interested... and I'm sure other players would be too! RE: I should know this, but.... - Hawk Kriegsman - 07-04-2010 Since no one else has answered. Yes a leader stacked in a hex provides leadership benefits even if mounted. Just look at a hex with a mounted leader sometime. You will notice that all units in the hex have their morale highlighted in red. Thanx!
