[Rules] 6.72 Decapitation (Now voting for clarification! Come make yourself heard!)

[vulcan558]

I'm on the side of multiple decapitation - although I've never seen it happen yet. While it may seem a bit gamey, it also prevents the use of another gamey tactic, namely putting an uber-LTC or MAJ up front to lead your infantry into the trenches. My understanding, from my reading on the period, is that battalion commanders personally leading their men into action became a relatively rare event after WW1. The decapitation rule discourages the use of super-leaders as 'firefighters' to tip the balance in critical assaults. Would a LTC really dart from spot to spot along the battalion front rallying the troops and leading them into the trenches? I suspect he would be a little way behind, holding the chain of command together and directing his reserves, to be honest...
