How many generals in an army?

This is for BI. And also, why dont you get any cammand stars for defending bridges?

Brigde battles are counted as ordinary field battles. As I understand it, BI is just far less generous with command stars.

I've noticed a disturbing tendency for "junior" generals to die in battles in both MTW and RTW. I suspect only the actual leading general gets the extra HP protection. Or maybe I am more reckless with the juniors?

But either way, I'm going to try to avoid using more than one general per stack in the future. It's hard to avoid in the early game though, as general units are extremely powerful at that stage.

I'm certain that all general units get 2xhitpoints. Then individual generals get plusses above that or it could be just the commanding general.

Yes, the lesser general's units get the 2HPs. It's the individual general I'm worried about (the escort seem to be phoenix guards or something, they get resurrected so easily).
