axxe Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Two questions: 1) Does a leader's Leadership Modifier affect all subordinate units with C2 to the leader (including radio), or just those physically nearby? 2) For the case of a leader with a negative Leadership Modifier, do his units perform better when they do NOT have C2 to the leader? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axxe Posted February 4, 2017 Author Share Posted February 4, 2017 2a) I have a Platoon HQ with a -1 Leadership, and a separate Support Team unit containing the platoon assistant, who has a +1 Leadership. So... should I send the Platoon HQ out as a scout so the assistant can inherit the platoon? That would be the effect, yes? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Hmmm. Question 1 is a good one that I don't have the definitive answer to, but my guess is that the leadership factor applies in all situations. Question 2 was raised several months ago and the answer was that even a leader with a negative factor is better than none at all. For instance, in the WW II titles, only a leader can call in artillery. Absent a leader, it takes much longer for information to be shared among units. I think units without a leader have more brittle morale and take longer to rally. Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The former. Howeve, the effect is not binary. Some types of C2 are better than others,and being in C2 in multiple ways is better than one. If you have command lines turned on the brighter the line the stronger the C2 effect. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
