Perhaps the Ruddock parsing is correct. It I suspect is contrary to the intent and probably contrary to the way the game has been played everywhere since its inception.
I don't have my rules so can't review the section, but fighting in the front rank and being stuck there for pursuit is I suspect worded that way for more than just to carry the command figure forward.
Page 28 makes it very clear what he can and can't do.

Not that they make much difference to you Pete.
I guess what I was trying to convey was that I'm relaxed about how it is ruled. My recollection of how this is played was the same as Dan's - hence my initial disagreement. But I can't really disagree with Graham's reading of Page 28. Since I commit my generals to combat about 5% of the time I don't think this is an area of the game which will cause me too much concern.

What I was trying to convey was it doesn't matter what you play. You are better than most

It's interesting isn't it? I keep on trying to convince people I'm not lucky, but they simply don't believe me!
