I agree the biggest mistake in that was not to choose a commander (or nobody took it before game started). But I also have to remind people to read briefing to familiar themself with the mission, regardless if you are leader or not. I suppose the compass issue was once-in-a-lifetime experience (even if I doubt it, concerning upcomming CiA videos)
This is, as Osku said, very importaint with split teams in different "brances", not only infantery groups. Here we had one wheeled and one "footed", and in this particular mission, my vote goes for infantery leader command the whole lot.
I don't support Oskus view of commander, the commander should ALWAYS be the leader. Not only does he have the command bar (how little that helps from time to time), but it would prevent others (the guy with it) to issue confusing orders just for fun. From start it looks OK, but the leader would all the time need to keep track of who got it, as long as people tends to get killed in some missions.
We had an example of that last night too, where I asked repeatedly to remove my WP and nothing happend. In addition to that, I could never determin where the actual leader was, since I got the HUD location of TL. Running around looking for who has which weapon to determin who's the leader ain't my style...
