order of succession for army commanders

General
#1

Hi all,

If I have multiple back-up commanders in an army, is there a defined order that they will succeed the primary commander in the event of his untimely demise?

If they have the same command rank, what is the tie-breaker?

Thanks,

John

Would presume Command rank, but if they’re the same, maybe in the order of characters “with” the army? Otherwise, I would chalk this down to DITCOP and it’s unlikely to be a “known”…

Thanks for the answer! I appreciate your help!

So, did you find out what happens in this scenario yet?

I seem to remember Ernie once saying that command goes to the highest ranked commander, then to the character with the highest total skill ranks, in case of a tie.

But I can’t confirm that.

Luckily, my commander didn’t die yet. So I am not sure how it turns out.

You know, I think the Jedi Master told me the same thing. Natural skill ranks that is.

I’m pretty sure the Ernie addendum to the rulebook would be at least 50 pages…
