At what moment is the command distance measured?

[Delphin]

I couldn't find the answer in rulebook: is the distance measured at the beginning of the turn, or before moving each stand/group? For wxample, can I move a stand, who breaks line-of-sight to another stand, and after it move the second stand withut +1 CP? Or firstly move the general stand than another stand became inside the command distance?

It is measured at the time the command is given to the stand moving.

So for example if a general started too far from a stand and you used a command point to move the general closer, the stand could now be in command if you try to move it.

Ok this. Thank!

I hadn’t thought of that, but it makes perfect sense because sequence matters.

So a General more than 8Mu from an enemy, could move behind their own troops to the left and give a command, then move back right using a March move? Might be a helpful tactic for terrain features breaking up command or for sending that lone stand to attack a camp.

Could, but that would be a waste. Use what command points you want to at the original location, move the general, then use what command points you want at the second location. Any general who is wasteful of his command points usually gets punished by the dice gods quickly thereafter.

Right, you couldn't do that more than once or twice a game with good command dice results.
