    I like that, but I think people should be able to respawn out of those areas as well to make the gunfights longer and charges and pushes possible if timed right by the officer.

    Respawn point would be a great idea for the flag, plus if the flag were dropped and not picked up or captured by the enemy mobile respawn would cease for that unit until they could respawn.

    I recon the General and his staff's HQ should be the respawn point. As he moves about the battlefield and sets up a forward HQ it moves the spawn from point to point meaning the General could make a risk and come closer to the battle to try and have a closer spawn point at risk to his life

    Nah. I feel like the HQ would be way too far from the fighting. I mean, historically they were usually several miles behind the front line I believe. Imagine walking that just to get back to the fight only to get shot again XD

    Several miles? Please explain me, why so many division and even corps commanders died in the war
    Longstreet had his head quarter about 500 metres from the front line, at Antietam.
    Jackson was nearly killed by a round shot, which hit the ground next to him.

    Major General Mansfield and Richardson were both mortally wounded, cause they were that close to the fighting lines at Antietam.

    I mean like, full general's HQ's. Not like, division, corps, ect. McClellan was probably a little father than 500 meters from the fighting. While Mansfield and Richardson indeed were both mortally wounded, neither of them were in there "HQ" when the event took place. In Mansfield's situation he was extremely too close to the front line for anyone's comfort and definitely did not need to be there XD

    It is all situational though. While some officers were noted to have lead from the front, others probably stayed back and "chilled" while their men were gunned down. XD
