Hube & Balck in -42

I saw references to Hube and Balck in PyleDriver's AAR and my interest in this game just shot through the roof. In reality I think they both were in command of Panzer Divisions at the time when the AAR is taking place. 11. Panzer for Balck and 16. Panzer for Hube. I know I'm very late to the party regarding this game (it sort of dropped under my radar) so this question is probably slightly daft to those of you that have followed the game since its announcement, but here it goes. Does this mean we can promote or assign commanders at will and have them take command of various types of formations or is just a slight hick-up in the OOB?

It seems the majority of commanders that could realistically have commanded a higher ranking formation are included in the game. It costs admin points (was about to type "political points") to change commanders, and it seems the further up the chain you want to promote them, the steeper the cost. There's also a chance that a commander will lose some skill when promoted it seems, judging by screenshots posted earlier.

as again, it is Alpha, we had to get everybody in, first, before we fixed the rules on how they will work
which I believe we are close to getting the leader rules added
so will be able to add in date of command and other such stuff

Leader database is now under a serious review. Pavel just added the ability to bring leaders in on certain dates and now we need to review all of these leaders with their associated availibility dates and get the ones in that we were missing which is mainly the later war commanders.

You are probably aware but just in case, the companion to Colossus Reborn has a whole appendix (No.2) dedicated the the Red Army Senior Command Cadre (Front down to Corps level, including PVO and VVS). Gives dates individuals were in post.

I'm confident that Pavel has the Red Army Commander's under control. We post-added a bunch of leaders on the the various campaigns and now the list needs to finalized and compiled.
