Leaders in HTL
 |
| Fine sausages Sir! |
He wasn't
called Butcher for nothing. The Duke of Cumberland, a competent leader and
inventor of the famous sausage.
Leaders
in HTL are very important. Apart from the use of the commanders' capability to
save APs for the next turn, leaders will:
- rally a unit they are
stacked with (remove losses) if the leader is activated by spending an AP;
- help a unit they are stacked
with to force march (move one extra hex);
- add their leadership rating
to a defending unit's morale rating when testing during close combat;
- add their leadership rating
to a heavy cavalry unit when it tests its morale for the purposes of
withdrawing before combat.
In the
five Highland Charge scenarios there are one, two or three leaders with values
of either 1 or 2. Good commanders rated 2 include Argyll, Rob Roy, Murray and Munro. Despite his achievements, Cumberland rates only a 1. Cheer for your favourites!
