The command control - always keep your leaders in command control range. Select the leader and then Use the "K" key to show its command radius. It ONLY helps for the recovery of unit disorder. Has nothing to do with Rallying units.

Example: Ney has a division command which has two brigades. Each brigade has various units. Two of the units in the 1st brigade are disordered. If Ney's command radius extends to the DIVISION leader and the division leader's radius extends to the brigade leaders then if Ney passes his command test he will pass his command bonus down to the division leader. If the Div. leader then passes his test he will pass his bonus down to the brigade leader. If the brigade leader passes his test then the units will get a bonus. The default unit disorder recovery value is only "1" so you need to make sure you have your units in command control range.

Morale recovery: stack leaders with routed troops. A Corps, Wing or Army leader will affect all adjacent units as well. Use them to rally large groups of routed units.

I do not like to use my higher echelon units in a melee. The +20% bonus is often offset by the loss of that leader. Replacement leaders always have inferior ratings. This will affect ALL command tests for the rest of the game.

Using a replacement leader (Brigade) for melees is best. I will then use a regular brigade leader.

Hope that helps.... its time for food here so ... -------------->
