Soviet Leader Replacement

[tomeck48]

Ok, so I had Zhukov commanding the Northwest Front on the Luga, then put him in command of Stavka (Sept '41). The next turn, the AI sacked him and put in Voroshilov. One turn? What's up with that? What criteria is the game using to make that decision. Shouldn't some deference be given to the player's choice?

Combat results + political rating + randomness
You have been very very unlucky

"You have been very very unlucky"

So what else is new? [:D]

He must have accumulated more losses than wins, which means it will be hard to keep him in command. And every dismissal reduced his political rating by 1 (if POL is 1 leader is executed instead).
The problem is it's not those wins/losses that you can see, but a pair of hidden values. There is a compensating mechanism, which means not every physical win or loss is accounted for in those hidden numbers (because otherwise all Soviet leaders in 1941 would have very poor results).
You'll have to put him in command of an army that can get a lot of wins quickly, and perhaps shield him from dismissal by placing a leader with very bad win/loss ratio (hope is his hidden ratio is bad too) to be dismissed first.

Zhukov can command an army ? I thought he was from front to Stakva. I did not remember having the option of giving him an army.
i will have to check.

He starts the game in command of an army. If you'll not force-promote him by placing him in STAVKA I think he can keep command of an army.

[EwaldvonKleist]

He can command armies. He rules at winning crucial battles.

I use him all tje time in an Army role. Normally in my games he is going up against Model and Manstein. I will post some battle results when I get to my computer.

If you think you are unlucky, in my mp game Manstein was killed in Dec 41...

[morvael]

In my MP game I killed Zhukov voluntarily (by relocating his isolated HQ) in June 41

Ditto. I used him to keep my opponent at bay on the Neva in '41. Reserve activations can be a big help at hex 83/16.

Same for me, I use him on the hottest spot

Ouch. I thought I had it bad.
