What are the CPs for commanders when they are:

1. In melee to give command to units who are
a) not in melee
b) in melee ?
c) to units they are with

2. When commanders are not in melee what are the CP costs to give command to units who are:
a) not in melee
b) in melee
c) to units they are with

The rules aren't all that clear from our reading of them, or maybe we aren't reading them all that clearly !!

Thanks

Looks all good we maybe right after all with our interpretations.

One last option

Unit in melee commander attached to unit but not in melee what is the CP cost to give this unit an order ?

Thanks

the cost is 2 CP, as the unit is fighting and the general is not in melee

CP costs are :

1 CP = one normal order
2 CP = difficult manoeuver /
+1 CP out of command range (or general missing) or unit in melee or general fighting in melee (cumulative max 3 CP)
3 CP order to impetuous units subject to uncontrolled charge to do something else.

Subsidiary question. Is distance from commander to unit measured according to where the commander starts the turn, or can it be after the commander has been moved? I'm seeing it played both ways.

Translation from French booklet P23 Command range 3rd para : " command range is checked when the order is given"

So just to clarify

Commander attached to a unit which is in melee but commander is not in melee, so unit will benefit from him being attached for the purposes of giving a command to this unit. What is the cost in CP for this unit to attempt to remove a cohesion hit - is it 1CP or 2CP ??
