Corp commanders moving about?

[MartNick]

When in a detailed battle why do all the corp commanders seem to be commanding different troops, after I have assigned them to command particular corps? Just had a CTD as well whilst playing again in a detailed battle!

Corps commanders are assigned to a random unit within a corps. Are you saying they're put in charge of a unit outside their corps? If so, please send us screenshots of 1) the control box for the corps/army prior to battle, and 2) a screenshot of a commander assigned to the wrong corps in battle (perhaps turn the unit information overlay on to make it easier to see this--TAB key)

Here you go. I assigned Davout to command III Corp. Not sure why he is seen here commanding VI Corp. Plus III Corp didn't appear in this battle.

Here is the army organisation screen so you can see where the Corp commanders are.

Excellent! Thank you. Eric, try to have a look at this when you have a second.

I am curious why the leaders was designed to be at random command of the divisions, instead of sticking to either of the divisions of their designated corps.

No: what I mean is, one-star generals are assigned randomly within their corps/armies. Corps and army commanders are also assigned randomly, but likewise within their respectice corps/armies--and they still influence all divisions within their respective corps and armies.
