Hello all,

I finally got some time over the holiday to get in a few battles of this great game.
I have been through the search engine of previous posts, could not find an answer to a recent observation. I have played this great game from the original SPI to the current. But leaders used to get promoted. Do they still get promoted? If so what do they have to do? (apart from survive)

Thanks again for many fun hours.

1) Survive several battles, without taking much damage (or getting killed!). Getting damaged reduces chance to progress, getting killed (total kill, not crew survived if a vehicle or gun etc) usually results in a replacement with the current base level experience.

2) If a leader dies, and there are other units in the formation, leadership will pass to another candidate - so the "0" unit in a formation is not necessarily the leader, once the formation has been butchered a few times.

3) It's easier to gain experience at lower levels, higher experience levels are more difficult to reach. So take care of any elites!.

4) Shooting at an enemy is good for experience gain, ditto kills - the first 5 kills are the most significant. Some folks will pick up units who do not generally fight (FOO teams, the A0 etc) in say APCS, and pick off routed crews etc in the end-game to help them along to the 5 initial kills - but this can backfire if you trip over enemy with some fight left in them!.

5) Using a skill helps to progress it - an arty FOO or the HQ that calls more arty missions will tend to get better faster than one which does not, or a platoon HQ who only called once. A formation leader whose formation has fought a lot will have had more opportunities to "coach" nearby subordinates, and so his inf, etc command will tend to go up.

Happy New Year!
