How Leadership & Command works in SkillScorer
Score
Each member in a unit is scored on the Leadership & Command skills in the Skills Matrix: tap a cell, type a score, and it saves itself.
Compare
Rank members, compare two side by side, or compare your units against each other to see exactly where the strengths and gaps are.
Track
Scores are kept year after year, so you can see who is improving and which Leadership & Command skills need attention. Reports also follow each section commander's unit.
