RE: Positioning 0-0 leaders
There are more 0-0 RKKA leaders in 1941 than anything else, but there are not enough leaders, so one doesn’t have much choice but to put them in hexes where their command and control can be maximized . In many scenarios, the Germans have one leader for every two units or even 1-1! One has to juggle leaders around the battlefield just to activate units for the RKKA. This is because of the tremendous casualties incurred by leaders in 1941-42 due to their doctrine of aggressive leadership.
Right now, I’m playing FitS #22, dated June 28, 1941,a Soviet attack is going forward w 28 ingantry, trucks and weapons units but commanded by only 6 leaders. Of these leaders, none has any morale or combat modifier. The senior leader is not directly “out front” w the attack for fear of decapitation. Thus, the Soviets have 5 leaders but at least.one must be stacked w a mortar and one w a 76.2mm artillery unit. So in fact, there are 3 leaders for 26 infantry, HMG, SMG and engineers!
I think Kommesars are gonna just go to the hotspots in the battle and find themselves running back n forth involuntary. It might just be wise to start them in the rear with the highest ranking leader. They’ll be going somewhere needed soon enough. They don’t have a choice.
