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?

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."
