Independent command squads - WaW

Why didn't you make the lt and platoon sgt independent for command squads? It seems like one of their primary roles is ignored.

The game models actual firefights - having your LT wander around the battlefield on his own is usually a bad idea!

It would be command-squadish for those two guys to be able to take command of leaderless squad remnants. It seems they should be more than just another few guys with guns.

The Russians can do this using the NKVD officer

We have kicked an idea around that allowed a command squad to take a ready action to act as a leader for up to one unit per turn if they were in coherency.

As long as the command squad kept using a ready action, they would keep the other squad in command.
