Yes indeed! I thought my trickery would fool one.

But I also thought we wouldn't be getting this far into my list of questions, which is running rather thin at the current moment.

Well, since no one's really answered this, I'll just take a shot at guessing. Is it a strategic / tactical difference between them?

Over the course of the franchise, every single commanding officer provides unique tactical advantage. I'm looking for a difference in implementation specific to Days Of Ruin.

I never thought this question would be untennable but proof is in the pudding : I have to change it.

The answer was : in Advance Wars 1, 2 and Dual Strike, the CO would affect every troop on the map, but in Dark Conflict/Days of Ruin it had to be loaded into a unit and it's influence could only be felt in an area around said unit.
