THAT is funny in a macabre sort of way [:D]

I've done the same thing with lousy "leader" icons and sprites in other games (e.g., Forge of Freedom) and yeah, they never seem to get waxed even when their whole unit gets annihilated [&:] . . . and that, even though in FoF Leades CAN get killed in combat!

I have done the exact same thing in Forge. I have yet succesfully " killed off " a crappy leader that way.

PT boats are harder to sink than Battleships in this game[:D]

I am still hoping AE has an "Execute leader" button

It would not have much effect on the game but would be a morale booster for the player.

I was just trying to get a little bit of revenge for Australia.  Is that too much to ask?[:D]
