Seniority of British generals

In my recent game, I had a British general upset because he didn't receive command of the Army of Tennessee. I don't think that's what the developers intended, the Brits should only be upset if someone bypasses them for an Army command within their own nation :) .

He couldn't have done any worse than Braxton Bragg.

That's a first! Just when you think you've seen it all .... nice catch, Ace!

I've raised this issue a number of times and suggested all foreign generals be given radically lower seniority to avoid this.

Well, promoting Watie didn't cause any resentment from senior generals. So, there is no issue with promotions, only with Army commands.

That's what I meant.

I also noted that attempting to rebuild, or build a new British or French division will subtract from the CSA count, whatever it is at that moment in time.
You can also take a foreign Army HQ and form a new CSA army with it as I recall.
