Last but not least, included the complete leadership revision by Arnaud Bouis of all leaders abilities and values (pro-allies balancing fix).
In 1813 and 1815 campaigns all Generals commanding Guards Infantry and Calvary Corps, according the scenery starting OOB, have not "Committ the Guard" ability.
As a result, ( when leaded by no Committ the Guard" ability Corps Generals), Guard Units are employed as soon as an engagement stars, with the result of a sudden depletion of Guard Units.
I suggest all Leaders commanding Guard Corps, in the starting OOB, should have the "Committ the Guard" ability, so to allow the correct Guard Units employement: that to say elite, reserve, shock troops to be used in critical battle conditions.
Guard Units, when transferred under command of a "Committ the Guard" ability Leader, as Napoleon for French side, are regarded as reserve, shock units, till.
Indeed, I noticed that in these last reported conditions Guard Units are very rarely commited to battle: I lost some engagements, where Napoleon was commanding a massive Guard Unit concentration just because Guard was not committed at all.
So, in conclusion my double suggestion is:
1. Add the "Committ the Guard" ability to all Generals leading Guard Corps.
2. Slightly increase the chance of Guard Unit committment for Generals with "Committ the Guard" ability.
