Repsol, I am sorry, but I cannot agree with you. Imagine an idealized situation of one Army with four Corps. You have 5 leaders, 4 of them with an idealized rating of 5, and the last one with a rating of 9. If you put the higher ranked commander at the Army, and each Corps fights 100 battles, you will have the following results. Out of 400 battles the corps checks fail 200 times, and it is then than the Army commander is taken into consideration (more often that any of its Corps commanders). As it is, this second check would succeed 45% (9/20) of the times, so at the end you will have 110 failures out of 400 battles (for the sake of simplicity, I leave out higher HQs). If you double the value of the Army commander to 18, you will only have 20 failures out of 400, which makes completely irrelevant the concept of check altogether. By the way, if you place your 9-leader as a Corps commander in the above situation, you will get 120 failures out of 400. Of course, if you are planning to fight most of your battles with the same Corps, it would be better to place the best commander there. Extrapolating, the same could be said if you were planning to fight the whole East Front Campaign with a single platoon: make Manstein (or Zhukov) your platoon leader…
