A NIfty Trick... (using Groups)

[TJD]

2 - At present Leaders do not become 'Uncontrolled' or 'routed' even if the unit it is with goes 'Uncontrolled' or 'routed'. However, this can be changed and will be considered as Al suggested.

Actually, with all due respect to Al, the sticky leader idea was mine, see above. But I wanted to address the issue of leaders going Uncontrolled or berserker. They don't in the current rules, and that's fine, but I wonder if some exceptions might be made. I'm thinking of Crastinus and his group at Pharsalus. He was primus pilus and it's arguable that his amazing sally had a decisive effect on morale. Caesar certainly gave him ample credit. I can't come up with other examples at the moment but, on the off-chance that Pharsalus is ever duplicated in the AW series of games, I certainly hope Crastinus is allowed to go "Uncontrolled" and given a big Ferocity bonus :chainsaw:
