:), I am sure there are a few William of Oranges in the Imperial Guard for
one. Certainly plenty of them in the PDF.

Subject: RE: Re: [NetEpic ML] Core rules polls
Id say that any commanders which actually fight alongside
the troops are elite. If they're pencil pushers, thats another
thing entirely. After all, id hesitate about putting my life
in the hands of a commander which wasnt experienced with fighting.
Its not just about hand to hand combat, but strategy, leadership and
the ability to think fast are very important. Thats my take on it
anyways :)
-----> Sorry but history has shown us that this is just no the case. Look
back at the debacles that happened during the first world war. The sole
reason why the Trench situation last so long as it did and got to that
state
is that no one from those on the ground up had any better ideas. They were
just going through the motions and following current conventions.
Going back a little further to the Napoleonics whilst there were some
amazing officers on both sides there was also an equal if not greater
number
of officers particularly on the English side that were only interested in
personal gain, incompetent or insane again this rot spread throw all levels
of command from the sergeants upwards.
