COMMANDERS
Commanders become available after you recover and research the required technology. Commanders lead other units in combat and use a laser designator to identify targets. When a commander laser designates a target, all units attached to the commander have an increased chance of hitting the target.


Commander Menu
The Commanders menu is very similar to that of the standard command console except that it has four additional buttons. These will be explained directly below while the other general buttons will be explained in the next section, titled "The Command Console".

 

 
Commander Experience Levels
Like other units, commanders gain experience. As a commander becomes more experienced, the size of group he can control becomes larger and his laser designation becomes more accurate. A commander's experience level is shown by an experience symbol.
 
Attaching Units to Commanders
Select the units to attach, then left-click on a commander. A commander lock icon appears under the units to indicate that they have been attached. A commander cannot have more direct fire units (machine gunners, cannons) attached than he is able to command. A commander may have any number of indirect fire weapons (mortars) attached to him regardless of his experience level.
