aka_tom_w Posted May 23, 2003 Share Posted May 23, 2003 Doh! oops I misread it too.... I will leave my long winded answer below anyways even though it does not address the question. Yes, as mentioned in the posts below I believe it does indicate the actual historical name of commander being modeled in an historically accurate scenario. this is my "other" answer: there are four "special" modifiers the star is for command range I think the lightening bolt is a Combat Multiplier meaning they aim better the heart is for moral and the Question mark (?) is for stealth the Stealth bonus means that unit and those in the command radius are harder to spot the moral bonus means that unit and those in its command are less likely to break or route or panic the star command bonus means the C&C range of the little red line is longer (How and why I never could figure out? :confused: ) the BIG one IMHO is the lightening bolt as it is the COMBAT bonus which might increase the accuracy and fire power effectiveness of those units in its command radius The combat bonus and the Stealth bonus I think are the most handy together. IMHO there are three levels of bonus none (no Symbol) bonus +1 just the symbol alone (as picture in your screen grab above) and Bonus +2 which is the symbol in a yellow square box ok? -tom w [ May 22, 2003, 09:32 PM: Message edited by: aka_tom_w ] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lecommencement Posted May 23, 2003 Share Posted May 23, 2003 If it is a scenario it might be a historical name. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonS Posted May 23, 2003 Share Posted May 23, 2003 It is usually used to indicate the real commanders name is being used in the scenario (as lecommencement said). [ May 22, 2003, 09:32 PM: Message edited by: JonS ] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
