Okay, I am starting a new game as Union in Nov 61, advanced, +2 for Confederate on Captain, more generals, randomized.

It is now Late Nov 1861 and I just received L.C. Hunt a 1 star ?/?/?/2/? and G. Mott a 1 star 3/?/?/1/?. What do I do with these guys? As well I have a couple more "bad" apples as well. At least I have a couple okay leaders.

If I put them into a division, will they help or hurt?

Is it better to use a bad leader versus not leader at all? Does it make sense to use a bad leader or does the game give a bonus for using a leader (any leader) versus not using a leader?

Any Leader is better then no Leader

if they really bug you, make a Bde that is your shock troop, and use it for them do or die charges when you need them

Also, generals give bonuses to forts and cities, so you can stick the bad ones into garrisons. When I play on "More Generals" that's what I do, since I usually have plenty of generals for my mobile forces.

Didn't know that! I must use this tip straight away.
