Devil advocates question

Played a game on Monday and a certain player running NUMIDIANS

Had An included general in combat and wants to prompt a unit outside his range so it's +1 to prompt the unit +1 because general is in combat and +1 because the unit he is prompting is out of range. So a total of three pips
His point is that
If the general were dead it would only take two pips to prompt the unit not three.
So the general should be allowed to use his internal cp to counter the in combat pip and then only two cp to prompt the out of range unit and not three cps

Is this correct?

LOL. I'm sure he'll see your response

[footslogger]

Lame.

The rules do say a unit out of range of a general in melee is 3 pips. Yes it does mean it is 2 if he is dead.

Presumably their officers no longer wait for an order and know to make their own decisions.

[Viking709]

So you are saying that it only cost 2 cp for a general in combat to issue orders to another unit even if it is out of command range?

[Viking709]

Finally found on page 23 clear example of costing 3 cp

What happened to gently playing the rules? It seems as if we now focus on finding the grammar with which to screw our opponents instead of enjoying a simple, easy to play "GAME". Alas, I see too many WRG 5th edition veterans smoking their pipes and corrupting the more sensible players.
