Chain of Command Questions

[sbrengard]

Little Story 'bout three German Panzer Divisions.

1936: Germany starts with three Panzer Divisions. I, in my ample wisdom, assign 3 historical leaders to these divisions.

The Spanish civil war breaks out and I, again in my ample wisdom, spend my three panzer divisions to support Franco.

Franco wins, with the help of my divisions, and sends my volunteers home having won some hard earned experience.

Fast Forward to Sept, '39:

The invasion of Poland is about to begin. I decide to group my Panzer Divisions together for the invasion and do so, uniting them under one leader.

The invasion goes well, and I detach one Panzer Division to guard Warsaw.

Questions:

In '39, when I group these divisions together do the commanding Generals STAY attached to the assigned divisions or do they go back into the pool? (If not, they Should IMHO)

If they do, do they gain experience while attached to the Korps?

If not, when a Division get reassigned, do I have to reassign a leader, or does the leader 'pop' back into the position?

The senior ranking general takes command while the other two are returned to the command pool.

Assigned generals who engage in combat operations gain experience.

If not, when a Division get reassigned, do I have to reassign a leader, or does the leader 'pop' back into the position?

If you split off a division, it is assigned a general from the force pool.
