Commander Rating and Leadership....can somebody clarify please?

[Maho-Tsukai]

I was told by somebody that having a particular leadership score can give you a command rating(In particular, General), yet I can't find anything about this skimming Heroes of Battle? Was this person's statement false? If it was not, what is the leadership score needed to get a command rating of general?

He had it backwards.

Commander Rating can be used as a bonus to your Leadership score in place of Charisma. A level 10 General (commander rating 7) with only a +1 charisma modifier can use the commander rating to have a leadership score of 17 rather than 11. If he has any of the [leader] feats, each of those adds +1 to his leadership score as well.

I see, then I assume there is no way to gain a commander rank other then actually being a commander(XD)? Thanks for the clarification on that issue, though.
