Something that allowed a destroyer-flagship to operate somewhat elusively would reflect LaTriomphants work in the pacific.

The cruiser flotilla works well for a fleet basis. Perhaps a stacking gunnery bonus abstracting directed fire as a flotilla.

Bonus SA could reasonably go along a landimg SA line. As in both commands landing are an element.

Edit:
Zig Zag: If this unit is attached to a destroyer. And that destroyer is the only friendly ship in the sector, it has concealment.

Gunline: Until the end of this turn, friendly local and adjacent cruisers roll one additonal die when making main gunnery attacks against a ship the unit this commander is attached attacked this turn.

Close to Shore: At the end of the turn,if the unit is commander is attached too is adjacent an island on you opponents side of the map. Roll a die, on 5+ score 2 VPs.

Helpful because france has several VP abilities

This is a difficult one, but this is my proposal.

Philippe Auboyneau - Commander - France - Cost 5(estimate)

Commander: This unit is attached to a friendly ship in the deployment phase. If that ship is destroyed or removed from the map, this unit is removed from play.

Flagship 1

Landing Support: Once per game, the unit this commander is attached can use an ability that scores victory points in addition to making attacks this turn.

Close to Shore: Friendly cruisers with vital of 8 or less have concealment when adjacent to shore or island sectors

Disarmed: Once per game when a friendly ship would be destroyed by a gunnery attack that exceeds its vital armour. Instead move that unit 1 sector away from the attacking unit. Until the end of the next turn that unit cannot move or attack.

I would change his first ability to this:

Once per turn, the unit this commander is attached to, if it is adjacent to island or coastal sector on your opponent's side of the map, can use Landing Support. Immediately score 5 victory points.

The reason is that there are very few French units with landing abilities, and this would allow for any unit to be used and to score points fairly regularly. The number of points is meant to be enough to tip the scales in a 100 point game, but not too much to be broken. 5 seemed good to me, but I am not especially attached to it.

This includes his flagship emile bertin.

I may be misunderstanding this, but it is the case that a ship may use its landing ability after making attacks anyway? Since the points are scored at the end of the turn, while attacks are made during a different phase?

Flagship 1

Covert Dash: The ship this commander is attached to may move 1 sector instead of attacking in the surface attack step. The destination sector may not contain any other units.

Close to Shore: Friendly cruisers with vital of 8 or less have concealment when adjacent to shore or island sectors

Diplomatic: At the end of the turn, friendly units may use abilities that score victory points again, even if they have already used that ability.

Revision for removal of ship only ability

What if we modified it to make it make not ship specific, but rather like distant cover for a sector of ships once per turn?
