{.wrap-right} An Army Leader is a specialized asset required for every force during Army Building. Exactly one Army Leader must be included in an army list. An Army Leader is not a standalone Unit; instead, it functions as an Attachment that must be assigned to an eligible Parent Unit during the Deployment Phase. When a player deploys a valid Unit to the Play Area, they must designate that Unit as the host for the Army Leader. If the Deployment Phase concludes and the Army Leader has not been assigned to a Unit, the Leader is removed from play for the duration of the match.
- An Army Leader does not perform an Attack, generate Attack Dice, or participate in the resolution of Ranged Combat or Close Combat.
- The Army Leader is represented within the Play Area by a Miniature or a Leader Token. This representation must maintain proximity to the Parent Unit at all times to denote its attached status.
- If the Parent Unit is destroyed and removed from the Play Area, the associated Army Leader is immediately removed from play.
- Specific eligibility requirements for Parent Units and the functional radius of leadership abilities are specified on the individual Leader Profile.
