Commanders

[JagdFlanker]

I'm not sure if anything's changed commander-wise since the last patch, but all of a sudden my games went from almost never losing a commander, to losing a commander every few battles. I keep my HQ 2-3 hexes behind their units, well clear of the enemy, and it happens equally if I am fighting enemy troops or wildlife. i play the steam version

I'v lost more commanders in the past week than I have in the entire previous year, and I'v played a few different maps/250+ rounds the last week. I'm in round 35 in this game and I'v lost 3 commanders just fighting off wildlife

Check if your leaders have the "lead from the front" skill. This skill increases the chances of dying when entering in combat.

I was just thinking of keeping an eye on that - thanks!

I used to not care if a unit leader had military skills before, but I have been more selective recently - it might be more prudent to try putting military leaders in the cabinet and put cabinet leaders as unit leaders to keep losses down
