Yes, but the Chaplain is a separate detachment. You have to agree on which
order to fight in when moving from detachment to detachment, as the "whoever
is outnumbered takes his lumps" rule. We usually try to reason it out, and
barring that dice it. High roll picks. If there are multiple squads
within range of the chaplain bonus, then it would definitely be unfair to
take the Chaplain first, though.
