Is this the page where I get to state how overrated most of the Confederate Generals were, starting with ol' Nobody Mention My Losses Lee and Get Outta There First Before The Big Fight Starts Forrest?

Not that you don't have a full plate, Bob, but regarding leaders, I'd be okay with a bell curve of un-named talent with situational modifiers (skewed bell curve) whom you can move around to different formations. Assigning them historical names seems to bring subjective past outcome emotions to a game that's a more dryly calculating new outcome modeler.

Now, that thing War in The East has about Assault HQs, except applied in TOAW as a temporary designation of replacement rate prioritization for selected "main effort formations" in longer campaigns. I think there's something there.
If you're STILL making Panzer IIs after seeing your first T-34... you're probably going to lose.

Shouldn't have even wasted time giving the leaders stats. Most scenario designers will have their own ideas about that since it's all highly subjective. More dev time down the drain.
