Just wondering what others prefer in Commanders. Which sees the most play, which stays in the box usually. For this informal survey, try to post at least your top 3 from both sides but more if you want. Feel free to include why you like or dislike them.
Axis: SS Hauptstrumfurher...Pretty obvious why this is #1 Axis Commander Romanian Vigilant Lt.... I like the added defense for ATG/ART/AA guns SNLF Cpt...Pinpointer...a good SA overall, Japan can use it to good effect
Allies: Eagle Eye NCO...the extra range for infantry is great, teamed with M1 Garands is nasty Red Devil Cpt....Pinpointer, a good SA Veteran NCO...good cost, good initiative & good SA when teamed with Guards Infantry
Other Allied Commanders I like are Inspiring Lt. & Inspiring Hero & the Marine Sgt. when 81mm Mortars are in the game with Improved Indirect Fire. Also the Greek Officer for Tides of War. Generally the Allied Commanders are all pretty good.
Axis ones that tend to stay in the box are the Stalwart Lt. for Italy & the Tenacious Officer. SA's are kind of weak IMO. Weak initiative also. Ones that get used more are the Wehrmacht Lt. & Imperial Sgt. Angriff & Banzai, when you get them in close is ugly for the Allies
What does everyone think about this topic?

Well, you pretty much summed it up for me. I agree with everything you said. I would add that Inspiring Lt or hero with "Tally-Ho" is guaranteed in my British/Commonwealth builds.
Hammy is always in a German build.
Pin pointers and extra range or defense are all good.
The Greek Officer is great too. But I usually only use him with an all Greek build (some UK help like MGs or Brens)
Wehrmacht Lt with Angriff is good but expensive and the first unit killed.
Imp sgt with Banzai, is good but hard to use to full effect in my experience.
