According to the manual, every time an HQ is displaced, there's a fifteen percent chance the leader dies or is captured. If the displaced HQ is surrounded, the probability is 50 percent. My question is this. Is there any way I, as the German player, can see Soviet leader losses? I'm referring to the '41 Grand Campaign.

I think the chance is much lower now if the HQ is not isolated. Also, there is no way to see this from opposite side.

So the manual is inaccurate?

Isn't that rather a pity? I mean, wouldn't it be interesting to know? I would have thought the Germans kept track of what high-ranking generals they managed to kill. Also, the manual mentions "killed" and "captured" generals as two discrete categories. Does it mean that the Vlasov/Paulus situations are a possibility?
