Question for those who have played the 1862 scenario

[tbriert]

If you have played this scenario, particularly as the Union, I would like to know what your experience has been with the survival of division level commanders in the game. Specifically, the Union starts that scenario with any number of men who are currently incapable of corps command, because of not enough CP, but who will rise to corps command eventually and are the 'good' leaders the Union eventually developed and needs to win.

My question for those who have played it is have you seen these leaders live long enough to take over corps, particularly the ones with higher mortality ratings than 1? Or have so many of them died off that you are left with using Butler and Heintzelman to command the Union corps for the vast majority of the game.

This has a bearing on my proposed leader mod, where both players only get their good corps commanders by working them up through the ranks and increasing CP through battle experience. My assumption is that if it works OK in the 1862 scenario, then it should work fine with 1861 as well.

Thanks for any feedback.

frankly i wouldnt worry about this much.  mortality rates were actually quite high, as they should be.  my suggestion would be to add many of the rising stars that fell on the battlefield to supplement the losses.  this has the addition positive effect of adding more variety and chance to the equation
