Role of CinC
He is responsible for planning the campaign, resupply and command in multi corps battles.
He must give each corps commander an objective. This is normally a town or a terrain feature such as a bridge.
I will allocate the main supply base and a forward supply base for each corps at the start of the campaign. If one of these is lost to the enemy I will consult with the CinC to choose an alternative.
CinC orders
He must be within 8 map squares to issue orders
He will issue an order each campaign day.
It will confirm where his HQ is to move to, and by which squares he intends to move.
It will also confirm the next objective for each corps commander. The exact route they use will be up to them.
