What about coordinating attack and defense? The commander is not to only approve artillery strikes... :s.

Regarding the map, that indeed would be nice. They say the role of commander changes from 0.6. Perhaps they implemented this feature as well?

@devs: Where's the ;) ? :D

Hear Hear!

A commander's role is to act as a co-ordinator of squads.

"Squad 1 and 2 hold the 5-6 line, eyes on Bravo and Charlie 6"
"Squads 3, 4 move SE, and hold Delta 4, eyes on South east"
"Squad 5, move in and cap that flag."

Artillery is only a tiny part of a commander's role...

ive heard you are setting up a commander training programme mike

this would be even more interesting if you had a set of useful "controlable" people to form a squad on the other team to do what you wanted, so you wont have something unexpected, and if they were informed to lose they would do so, making AAS a bit more meaningful to the commander because then he has to inform the squad to prepare for a counter attack giving them a defend icon.
