It would be nice to get an official answer to this. My hunch is that command stars (a) raise morale within the blue circle; (b) increase the radius of the blue circle; (c) improve the odds when autoresolving combat. Based on past CA answers to earlier games, there may be some benefit to combat stats (possibly melee defence) but testing in RTW suggested that, if it existed, it was slight. In STW and MTW, command stars clearly increased combat stats, but in a rather imbalacing way (peasants fought like tigers) so I think it was toned down from RTW onwards.
