Future versions should have something to take a general's overall record into account better when awarding command stars, so he doesn't get cheated out of a boost for fighting a difficult battle one turn, and then an easy battle the next. With this new addition, both battles will go on his "permanent record" and help out in gaining stars (but still be throttled by his innate ability). The hard battle will still count much more than the easy battle, though.
That sounds like just enough to be a perfect system. We shall see how it plays out in practice but I'm happy to hear that now in any case. Yay. Yay I say.
