In Starguard (or any 'skirmish' game - sorry, Jon I don't have/play
Stargrunt, DS and FT is enough - along with fantasy and historicals
(Matchlocks on the Warpath, anyone?) ) I play the on scene commander.

In DS II and other 'higher' level settings i play the overall on-scene
commander (especially DS2 level) or sometimes the off table commander,
if
the ratio climbs past 1:1 for vehicles...  Off-scene command seems too
much of the 200 foot tall commander in most settings for miniatures.
