However in 50 yrs of studying military history, I 've found a very few instances of subordinate Generals not attempting to obey an order sent from a fair distance from a General who didn't know the real situation or other reasons but I have yet to find one of a junior officer refusing to mske at least a 1/2 hearted attempt an order from his immediate commander who is at hand, let alone having the rest freeze in amazement that such a thing had happened. That's why I slowly, reluctantly let go of my old command control rules. <br /><br />Still like I said if its a fun game, play it and enjoy the stories these tend to inspire.Ross Mac rmacfa@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04053555991679802013noreply@blogger.com
