The Commander Series Forum

i was thinking about introducing a house rule that allowed a commander use a successful command roll to remove supression from a unit or from a formation.

what do you think?

TRy it and see, I suspect it will change the game balance.

I suspect it will change the game balance markedly. The whole basis of suppression in the rules is that being suppressed denies the unit the ability to take actions in the turn, which is how your opponent moves his forces to overwhelm you. If you allow suppression removal by a commander within the turn, then one of the main tactical elements of the game disappears. As it is, suppression comes off at the end of the owning players turn, so his troops are active once again. As Ian says, try it and see, what's the worse that could happen?

i will give a go and write it up.

I'm guessing that you mean that this is in addition to he normal means of removal? So it comes off at the end of the turn OR BEFORE if a commander can get the order off?

It will reward high CV armies a lot, probably not help low CV ones at all?
