general stuff about generals

there does not seem to be any section of the rules specficaly about generals - I would really like a page of 'this is what generals do in the game'

I agree, after my first read through of the rules I do think you need a section for generals describing what they do and influence, instead of being scattered throughout the rules.

Ok a good idea IMO.

On a similar theme, and apologies if this seems excessively picky, but 5.01 seems to use the word 'general' a lot.

eg - p17 - General Movement Rules - Movement Rules?

p46 - General Close Combat Rules - Close Combat Rules?

And the word 'general' crops up an awful lot in the text. Could you change it to 'usual' or 'normal' unless it relates to a real General please?

Or is it just me?

Another fine idea...

Change "General" as in "Commander" to "Commander" and reserve "general" for its general meaning.

They are classified as "Commander in Chief" , "Inspired Commander" etc, not "Inspired General" etc so this would be the more logical term to use for this item in the game.

I had come to the same view when finalising the next draft earlier...

Well, they do say "Great minds think alike".

Mind you, they also say "Fools minds seldom differ."
