This is getting tiresome. Allan, oh, Allan, you Q&A Dude you....
Please ask this one. "Can you take a main force unit as a "command"
slot, and if you do, does this mean that you can have 11 units taken
from the main force list"
a) No
b) yes, but the main force unit taken as commander must be the highest
ranking unit by the chain of command
c) yes
d) no, silly question.
e) only some army list (list are...)


Thinking about it, doesn't the "main force" slot for IG artillery say
1-3 units? I don't have my rules with me

That would mean a change from 30 to 33 units in a detachment. I KNOW
that the command unit is a single unit, not a squadron sized unit, so
that does tend to mean that you get 10 main force units, not 11
