Do leaders have to make the crossing roll to cross a Major River?  If so, I take it they use foot.  If not, do they go with a unit, any unit or a assigned to go with a particular one ... or can they simply just cross?
I'd submit that:
  • a Leader could move with any unit it (the leader) activated that made its crossing number 5.0 & 5.72; 5.73. 
  • a Leader moving by himself would use foot movement rules to cross a major river (5.72. 5.73).  
  • Should the assisting ENG cross, a leader could cross with it (extension of first bullet).
Note 5.72 explicitly states that "no unit may cross a major river at any spot other than a bridge or ford unless an ENG or via assistance of an ENG."

Makes sense to me.

Agreed
I've always played that way. Agreed.
FWIW, I have also played it that way as well.
