Rules Q&A
- Q: How [does] Reserve Commander work for followers with an honour requirement of 2 or more or that have attachment restrictions like Lion's Pride/Kenshinzen.
A: Reserve Commander bypasses attachment requirements, because it says the new Personality is created "leading that unit" (card text). Zen Faulkes, "Rules for 26 August 2003", 27 Aug 2003
