Thanks for the latest answers Allen.

But Jervis appears to have screwed up with the detachment HQs AGAIN.

How does a) include b)? I can see how it could include c) but not b).

And if b) is correct, it will be a rare detachment without a captain, as
effectively he appears to be "free".

Therefore he means to say a) [which includes c)]

Ouch. And this is inconsistent with the answer for the marines.

BUT THAT ISN'T WHAT HE SAID FOR THE MARINES, which on the face of it
should be no different to the chaos marines.

Sorry to shout, but I'm beginning to get upset with Jervis on this one.
Despite being asked something which should be in the rulebooks, not once
but twice, he has still failed to give a satisfactory answer to a
question we shouldn't need to ask!

Thanks, Jervis, but it doesn't help at all.
