I don't play the game yet, but I watch Zaphod Channel, and I see some problems w/ the Commader First, of course you can select it using C key(default), but should be a way to track his HP, like in SupCom. Anyone of your Army can use your Com, good, but if some Son of @$#@!%$ in your Army decide to destroy your Com (Delete) with no reason, them only you should be able to destroy your Com.
That's only because it's in that particular game mode, it's the kind of thing you should be playing with randoms really, there will also be a 'regular' team mode where only you can control your units. Mike
