Having read the results that can be obtained when rolling on the Risk to General table it is clear to me that most of the results can occur anywhere on the field of combat. Friendly fire incident, horse startled and blunder into enemy lines etc. The argument that the said commander is 'hidden' from view is irrelevant.
I still maintain that if a CinC is placed in a position that is or would be advatageous to the player, then that player must also accept the fact that the CinC should be open to undesirable effects.
I think its time that the lowly Brigade generals were given a fair deal. If the attack went well the CinC would claim his victory, however if the attack failed the poor GdeB would be blammed. Lets make it fair and make the CinC responsible for his actions, I reckon the nearest general, irrespective of intervening terrain should always go. After all it makes for a much more interesting game!
