Thanks for the fast response. I was wondering more about the AO unit, basically is it stuck at lt colonel for life?

Also with company commanders, I do like to see some majors, but one was killed and replaced with a captain. especially in the armor group where in many years I very rarely see a major. Granted I usually play as the germans, whih I understand give more responsibility to lower ranking officers than in the US.

This may be of some interest to you. I have had a long Campaign as the Germans going for a few years now. My force started as a Panzer heavy, regiment sized force starting in Sept '39. The game date is currently Dec '43 and scenario count is around 120. The current rank of my AO is General, he was promoted twice. My Company Commanders are all Majors with the exception of the Panzer Company Commander who is still only a Hauptman(I find this very odd bc this is the original commander of this company and at 200+ kills has the highest kill total of any unit in my force.) Also a great number of the Platoon commanders have been promoted to the ranks of Hauptman and even Major. So my Panzer Company has some Majors as platoon commanders with a Hauptman as their superior. Needless to say a great number of my units are elite. I have a a lot of fun inventing scenarios that put may force at a disadvantage then fighting my way out of it.
