BUT, since you promot miniatures to unit leaders in the unit phase, if during that time your command section gains a unit leader, in the next command phase, everything is back to status quo, and you're good to go with your 12" radius and using your command section to give orders, since you have a command section with a unit leader.
You can also promote a unit leader in the Command phase with the regroup order.
How would it work according to your line of argumentation then ? 12" or 6" ?
I must say I did not think about this topic until I saw the discussion here, but now I see the potential problem although not a clear solution, I am afraid…
Yeah, this question really really needs a clarification ASAP. I wouldn't have thought it necessary, but today I lost a command squad, and the question came up (not completely; I had a different command squad as well. 400-point game).

Since you decide the Temporary Command Section at the beginning of your turn, even if you used your temporary command section to regroup and promote the unit leader of your original command section, you wouldn't get that command section until the next turn, and at that point your range would go back up to 12"
To me, this is the most consistent way to read the rules. That said, who knows what FFG actually intended, as it's certainly not clear enough. Hopefully the next version of the FAQ will address this.
Uh, where does it say that Axis auto-promote unit leaders?

In the Axis army section, right before it gets into their unit stats. I missed it too and didn't know about it until someone brought it up here on the forums. The rules are very spread out in the rulebook… so easy to miss one if you skim a section thinking it's just fluff (as I did in this case.)

Under Axis Unit Leaders on pg. 109

Thanks guys, missed that one.
I would like to know if FFG ever chimed in assuming someone emailed them.
Genius by birth.
Grumpy by choice.
I have just asked ffg for an official answer and will post the response as soon as I get it.
Zach at ffg has given an official answer to this:
