is anyone else noticing high rate of generals dying?

[Journier]

during offensives with enemy units my HQ unit is 2-4 hex's behind the front line, and then suddenly a general will die. In my 1944 game as Russia, pretty much every general over skill 6 died through 1941-1944 a majority of my good generals at the least.

Why are my generals running themselves into friendly fire in the back lines... so regularly.

to quote the manual

. There is a very small chance a general will get
killed in action. If this happens, a subordinate will replace him. A
player can replace the general if that player has enough command
points

Sounds like the Americans in Vietnam! The officers had to watch their backs, as many conscripted soldiers did not want to fight the war.

I'm not sure why you're having that happen so often. I've not lost any generals (now I probably will since I typed that). Are you on the newest version of the game?
