Yep, the name says it all. Antigonos the General who's quickly into the top of "who's got the most command stars" competition... Plus Hetairoi, plus faction leader, plus generally speaking lots of Battle strength enhancing traits...

And as it happens - command start do matter when the general charges.

Oh, by the way: I've had a minor enemy general rip through my Mistophoroi Pezhetairoi on the bridge near Antiocheia. And yes, these were attacked at the front.
