Sure does!
when corps and/or leaders arrive via reinforcement then all leadership values should be recalced.

OR at least it should! :-/
I've never paid attention to it, but I will the next battle I have (with reinforcements). :)
At LAST! The greatest campaign board game of all time is finally available for the PC. Can my old heart stand the strain?

No, Charles can't make the jump to 18 without penalty, because the table should then be 4 vs 2, which is 0/-1, not +1/0. Since it is expected that Nappy would have cav superiority, that makes it +1/-1 again. In EiANW, though, this is not implemented correctly, so you remain correct. Until Charles puts on the 19th corps ...

Leaders should only rarely drop from 3 to 2, because of this and other table changes.

Marshall: It would be really nice if we could choose to voluntaritly drop a leader's rating. This would be a simple check box, chosen before each round of combat. There are several combat table results for which a player might want to do this.

Who says Napoleon would have cavalry superiority ? I'd think that pretty unlikely against 18 corps, certain not 'expected'.
