Commanders (based on d12 system)
Each major power can have one or more military commanders that affect the outcome of battles. Each turn one commander unit is placed in a territory you wish to attack and can affect a +1 modifier on attack or defense for the sum of combat units equal to its leadership value for the duration of combat rounds. Each nation begins with commanders as follows:
Germany:
Hitler 8
Manstein 9
Runstedt 8
Rommel 10
Guderian 6
Italy:
Kesselring 7
Badoglio 4
Finland
Mannerheim 6
U.S.S.R:
Stalin 7
Zhukov 8
Timoshenko 7
United Kingdom:
Montgomery 7

Japan:

Yamamoto* 10
Nagumo* 8
Yamashita 7
U.S.A.
Patton 9

Macarthur 7
Note: The engaged commander remains in the territory till the end of the turn. If enemy forces choose to counterattack and capture the territory then that commander is considered killed in battle and cannot be replaced. All Leaders can only affect land battles except the leaders with * which can effect battles on the sea.
