Leader's Death frequency?

Post by AlbertN »

Is it there any knowledge on that?

In general in campaign of France I lose already 1-2 German leaders and that seems ... how to say ... premature? (Sure it could have happened)

This is something I have been watching and trying to understand. I have not lost any generals yet. When you have a general KIA is the HQ counter getting directly attacked by land or air units? Or are they getting KIA without the HQ counter being attacked?

This is something I have informed Alvaro about. I lost 6 generals playing axis just in a couple year and those HQ wasnt even in battle as far as I could tell.
Seem like a bug or that the death chance is very high. I hope he has the time to look into this.

Talking about Generals it would be good if we had the historicals generals from start, as it is now we have to wait till we get points to buy them.
I dont really understand this. Some didnt get into action untill later but many was alrd in action from when the war started.

HQ was not attacked.
Unit that was in command of the HQ was attacked. And the leader died.

It's roughly 1 in 500 which is quite generous compared to reality lol.

1 in 500 seems ok but according to my experience that ratio is MUCH higher. Maybe something to look into if you get the time.
And I for one think they should only be able to die if the HQ is involved in combat, not units they are attached to.
